Biden said loans were forgiven—but were they?

President Joe Biden promised a historic wave of student loan forgiveness—but how much of it was actually delivered? In this

interview, we go beyond the headlines to investigate the reality behind the administration’s highly publicized pledge to cancel student debt. While millions of borrowers celebrated initial announcements, the path to true forgiveness turned out to be far more complicated—and politically charged.

From Supreme Court blocks to new repayment plans and shifting eligibility requirements, the fine print tells a different story. And critics, including voices from the Trump administration, argue that what was framed as “forgiveness” was often just reshaping the debt—not eliminating it.

In an exclusive Capitol Hill Show interview, the Secretary of Education under the Trump administration explains why accountability, not cancellation, was their preferred approach—and why the Department of Education may be failing students altogether.

So… were the loans forgiven, or just deferred? Was this relief or a redirection?

Watch the full breakdown as we uncover what really happened, who benefited, and why the student loan debate is far from over.
