The only promise the government made to forgive loans is the public service loan forgiveness program, which was designed to encourage people to work in underserved areas without offering a large enough salary to attract talent on the normal market. Essentially it is a weird subsidy for undesired jobs. Some politicians promised a more generic student loan forgiveness, but politicians promise a bunch of things.
