The House on Wednesday was unable to override President Joe Biden’s veto of a resolution seeking to overturn his administration’s student loan forgiveness plan and immediately end the pause on federal student loan payments. In order to overturn Biden’s veto the House needed a two-thirds majority vote, but was only able to garner a vote threshold of 221-206, which nearly mirrored the chamber’s first vote on the resolution.

The House Education and the Workforce Committee on Thursday held a hearing focusing on skills-based hiring, which touched on issues of college affordability, student loan debt, and short-term Pell Grants.
