Biden got key details of the plan wrong at a recent public event.
President Joe Biden jogs to the other side of the stage to talk with Delaware State University students after delivering a speech about student loan debt relief at the university on Friday, Oct. 21, 2022, in Dover, Del.Student loan forgiveness is"passed. I got it passed by a vote or two. And it's in effect." — President Joe Biden
The Donald Trump and Biden administrations repeatedly used the law to pause payments on student loans since the coronavirus pandemic — classified as a national emergency — started in early 2020. If Biden had chosen to enact his policy through congressional action, the second part of his statement — that the policy is"in effect" — might be accurate. For now, however, it’s not.
Biden’s plan is wending its way through the courts. The most recent action — by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals on Oct. 21 — put Biden’s plan on hold following a challenge by six Republican-led states.

This is good news for Republicans, as it deflects attention from Trump’s criminal behavior and the completely debunked and far more consequential claims of election fraud in the 2020 election that undermine confidence in our electoral process and put our democracy at risk. Many Republican candidates for office are already claiming that they can lose only if the election is stolen from them.
