Notable 2020 Biden Campaign Promises

No new drilling on federal lands — Biden approved large oil and gas projects, including Alaska's Willow project
End Keystone XL pipeline — immediate pause was reversed; pipeline ultimately canceled, but contradictions persisted .
Healthcare & Economy
Public option healthcare — promised during the campaign, then dropped before taking office
$2,000 direct checks — ultimately the stimulus gave $1,400, not the full amount pledged. (This one is a little weak)
Student Debt & Social Policy
Forgive all undergraduate student loans — legally blocked and never enacted
Police & Justice Reform
Pass national policing commission / George Floyd Act — stalled in Congress and never became law
Immigration & Borders
No more border wall construction — efforts largely continued, with additional barriers
Raise refugee cap to 125,000 — instead paused or lowered; cap never reached
End "metering" of asylum seekers — continued delays remained at border processing.
Foreign Policy & War
End input in Middle East wars (e.g., Yemen) — U.S. support continued; full withdrawal never occurred
No evacuation chaos in Afghanistan — withdrawal was widely criticized as disastrous
No more "forever wars" — troops were reassigned to Syria and elsewhere .
Taxes & Corporate Regulation
IRS funding only to pursue wealthy evaders — the IRS got broad enforcement powers that some argue affected middle-class taxpayers
