Republicans voted to raise the debt ceiling three times when Donald Trump was president, with no preconditions.

Rating:

 

True

 

Context

This claim emerged in 2023 against a background of partisan bickering over a budget bill submitted by Republicans that included major spending cuts as a precondition for raising the debt ceiling in time to prevent the U.S. federal government from defaulting on its debts. During former U.S. President Donald Trump's presidency, Congress raised the debt limit with bipartisan support and no budget-cut preconditions on three occasions — in 2017, 2018, and 2019 — although the 2019 budget bill did require a commitment to $77 billion in administrative "offsets" to partially make up for sharp increases in defense and domestic spending.
