Okay lets go over this. Department of Defense said in a statement Feb. 4, 2023 The official said Chinese balloons briefly transited the continental United States at least three times during the prior administration.
BRIEFLY- for a short time: (Trump)
SEVERAL DAYS-undetermined number of days (vague) (BIDEN)
a few days = 3 or more days
The statement goes on further to say. The official said. "This was a PRC surveillance balloon. This surveillance balloon purposely traversed the United States and Canada, and we are confident it was seeking to monitor sensitive military sites."

Blinken told China's top diplomat, Wang Yi "that the presence of this surveillance balloon in U.S. airspace is a clear violation of U.S. sovereignty and international law.
So Blinken knew it was a violation of U.S. sovereignty international law, yet they allowed it to float for several days.
In a statement Feb. 2, 2023, Brigadier General Pat Ryder said the balloon’s path carried it “over a number of sensitive sites”. The town of Billings is a little over 320km (200 miles) from a nuclear missile silo field at Malmstrom Air Force Base.
During a On-Camera Press Briefing BRIGADIER GENERAL PAT RYDER said "the balloon had “changed course” since its discovery, and would remain over United States airspace for the next few days" defense.gov/News/Transcrip…
Feb 3rd There were further unconfirmed sightings reported on Friday above Kansas.
“We can point out one element that's different this time; this is the first time it's happened on the eve of a secretary of state visit to the PRC,” (One of the other differences beside time between Biden and Trump)
In another statement BRIGADIER GENERAL PAT RYDER pointed out the difference “I think the thing that is different is the altitude and, of course, the willingness to put it over the continental United States for an extended period of time,” defense.gov/News/Transcrip…
I found some of the comments on the news reports to be interesting.
This comment is by far my favorite.
This comment was interesting. thedefensepost.com/2022/07/06/us-…

@JoJoFromJerz not only has she sold her sole to the democrat party. For a fee of $10/$30/$50/$200 or $500 dollars a month you can join her. I don't know what's more alarming the price or the fact she has 391 patrons. I wish I could morally degrade myself enough to sell my
sole to the democrat party so i could charge people $500 a month. patreon.com/JoJoFromJerz
She also started this type of gofundme thing because she was getting divorced. Considering she was married for 29 years. Would she really have to fight that hard to keep the house? Assuming her name is on the lease ko-fi.com/jojofromjerz
