The Washington Examiner reported:

A White House payroll and staffing review by the group OpenTheBooks found that the White House staff under Biden is the biggest and most expensive in history.

“During President Joe Biden’s first three years, he spent $158.8 million on the largest White House payroll in American history, based on headcount. White House staff for FY2023 collectively cost $52,775,234,” said the report from OpenTheBooks CEO Adam Andrzejewski.

“No White House ever employed 500 staffers until Biden became president. The Biden White House employed 560 in FY2021 and 474 in FY2022. In 2023, the headcount increased by 50, to 524,” he added.

Those are considerably higher than the staffs of former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama. Trump, at this point of his presidency, had 108 less and Obama 70 fewer.

It isn’t just Joe Biden’s staff that is bigger either.

Jill Biden has 20 staffers working for her while Melania Trump had between five and 12.

Open The Books reported:

Former First Lady Michelle Obama was heavily criticized for her 24-member staff in 2009 including assistants, advisors, schedulers, directors, deputies, associates, social and press secretaries, and other “helpers.” Melania Trump’s staff fluctuated between five and 12 throughout her husband’s term.

We identified 20 staffers working for Jill Biden this year, and eight in FY2022. We reached out the White House for comment on if other staff are assigned duties to the First Lady that are not listed in the report. We will update this report if we receive a response.
