Fact-check: “The US national debt has doubled in the last 10 years”
Verdict: Mostly True (88% confidence)
The claim is substantially accurate. Total US federal debt roughly doubled over the past decade, going from about $17.8 trillion in mid-2014 to around $35–36 trillion by mid-2024 — an increase of just under 100%. The exact figure depends on which 10-year window you use: a window ending in late 2025 or 2026 clearly shows a full doubling, while a window ending precisely in mid-2024 lands just below double. Either way, the broad characterization holds up well against Treasury and FRED data.
