While the campaign paid in advance due to Asheville’s policy for short-notice bookings, Trump has a long history of failing to pay cities for billed rally fees, leaving the White House in January 2021 with at least $850,000 in unpaid rally debt. Most of the bills are still unpaid, including more than $500,000 owed to The city of El Paso, Texas.

He left the White House. At the time he left the White House he had $850k in debt.
The sentence is vague but this is how I read it (mostly because, you’re right, the other way doesn’t make sense).

I believe that could have been worded better. Pretty sure it means that T owed 850,000 when he left the White House.
