    You’re going to have to provide some proof. I literally cannot find any source that backs up your claim.

    Also, it is still possible to discharge student loans during bankruptcy under certain circumstances. Biden’s Justice Department actually just made it easier in 2022.

    There are two laws that made it more difficult, and not automatic like other loans, one in 1976 for federal loans, and one in 2005 for private loans. Biden had been a senator for 3 years when the first one passed and he didn’t sponsor the bill. I can’t find a voting record to see if he even voted for it. The one in 2005 he did vote for after amending it twice to make it less dogshit. That’s the one where he said it was going to pass anyway, so he thought he would at least try to improve it.

    There are plenty of reasons to not like Biden, but I would absolutely vote for him over Christy, and lying about his record on student loans isn’t a good reason to vote for a Republican.
