"To underline her claim, she posted a graph showing figures from The Century Foundation, which found that the average overdue balance climbed from $597 in 2022 to $789 today, a 32% jump: Under President Trump, electricity prices are surging up 11%! leaving millions behind on their utility bills, with past-due balances at an all-time high.

"Her post was also slapped with a community note that read: Joe Biden was President from January 20, 2021 January 20, 2025. Also, this chart is not representing the cost of electricity. It is showing the average past-due balances of Americans, which soared since 2022 under Joe Biden's presidency. The same report Klobuchar cited, however, noted that the hardship faced by households coincides with a genuine spike in residential electricity costs, which rose 10.5%"
A graph attributed to The Century Foundation shows average overdue household energy balances climbed from $597 in 2022 to $789 today, a 32% increase. The graph was paired with a claim citing an 11% rise in electricity prices under the prior presidency. Observers noted the chart’s increase stretches back to 2022 during the subsequent presidency and clarified that the chart represents past-due balances rather than the cost of electricity. The Century Foundation data also indicate residential electricity costs rose about 10.5%, contributing to household hardship and rising overdue utility balances.
