Education Department ends student loan repayment plan

Season 2025 Episode 344 | 6m 53s

The Trump administration has reached a joint settlement with seven states that will effectively shut down a key Biden-era student loan relief program. But what about the roughly 7 million people currently enrolled in it? Danielle Douglas-Gabriel, The Washington Post’s national higher education reporter, joins John Yang to break down the impact on borrowers in the months ahead.
