Under Obama, about $34 million to $35.3 million was spent on the Reflecting Pool renovation, depending on the reporting source; under Biden, there were no significant repairs or spending , with one report saying a full rehabilitation was considered but not carried out.

What the reporting says

  • Obama administration: AP says at least $34 million was invested in a two-year renovation completed in 2012.
  • Other outlets round that to about $35 million or $35.3 million.
  • Biden administration: reports say no major repairs were done, and no meaningful spending was recorded for a new renovation.

In plain English

If you’re asking about the claim that Obama and Biden spent “over $100 million,” the reporting does not support that. The documented spending tied to Obama is in the mid-30 millions, and Biden’s administration did not carry out a major Reflecting Pool rehab.

TL;DR

  • Obama: roughly $34M–$35.3M.
  • Biden: $0 in major renovation spending, based on the reports cited.
