Several social media users on Wednesday claimed that former President Joe Biden’s name was missing when they searched ‘list of US presidents in order’ on Google. According to users, President Donald Trump appeared twice (2017–2021, 2025–) immediately after Barack Obama (2009–2017), leaving no mention of Biden, who served as president from 2021 to 2025. We conducted the same search and confirmed the claims were accurate.

Sharing a phone recording on X, platform formerly known as Twitter, one user wrote: “I rarely use this app, but just because others are talking about this on another app – thought to bring it to this side too. When people are googling who was the US president during the Biden years, the answer doesn’t match. Also, when you google “US presidents in order” 🤔”

“.@Google so if I type in US Presidents I get a list of US Presidents in order of when they were in office except there’s no @JoeBiden. Anyone know why? @searchliaison what’s going on?” another one asked.

Hours after the error was first noticed, Google fixed the list.

This comes days after Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai attended President Trump’s inauguration at the Capitol. Several other tech billionaires, including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, were also at the event. Photos showed the CEOs mingling with several of Trump’s picks for the Cabinet, including Robert F Kennedy Jr as health secretary and Marco Rubio as secretary of state.
