Pretty sure this is just bad data.
If you want to make a larger point you could call it an example of the laziness of public schools.
Based on replies its evidence of the sheer laziness of the educator responsible. The current US president is a Democrat if I'm not mistaken, but the test doesn't actually specificy that it is referring to Joe Biden. If it was written under trumps presidency, the answer would be republican, and the computer software would need to be updated every time an election changes things.
It should just identify the current president by name when asking for party membership
