I was looking at a list of US recessions on Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recessions_in_the_United_States). It looks like every recession since 1973 has come under a Republican presidency.

In the past 50 years, has there been a recession that started during a Democrat administration?

Tariff recession: trump (R)

Covid 19 recession: trump (R)

2008 Great Recession: baby bush (R)

2001: baby bush (R)

1990: papa bush (R)

1981-82: Reagan (R)

1980: Reagan (R)

1973: LBJ (D)
