Republicans who voted to grow the national debt during the Trump administration are trumpeting fiscal conservatism again during a Democratic presidency. On the other side of the coin, Democratic support for such measures significantly declines under GOP presidents — but the decline isn’t as sharp, and majorities overall have still supported the increases. Under Democratic presidents, an average of 86 percent of House Democrats and 98 percent of Senate Democrats voted for debt ceiling increases. Under Republican presidents, those numbers drop to 51 percent and 58 percent, respectively.
