And lastly critiques the role Biden played in creating the student debt crisis over decades as a senator.
In other student loan news, earlier we reported that Joe Biden canceled more student loan debt than any other President. It’s a notable fact that’s flown under the radar.
Taking a piecemeal approach, the Biden administration has expanded existing loan forgiveness programs for borrowers who work in the public sector, those who were defrauded by for-profit colleges, and borrowers who are now permanently disabled.
Those moves have delivered significant relief to more than 700,000 borrowers, totaling more than $17 billion. Yet some voters feel misled by the President, who had supported canceling $10,000 for each of the 43 million federal student loan borrowers while on the campaign trail.
“He’s not delivering on his promise,” said Jennifer Lewis, a 57-year-old nurse practitioner in Washington State who has about $80,000 in student loan debt.
“If he were to run again, I would think twice about voting for president at all,” added Lewis, a self-described “super progressive.”
Biden is also facing a drumbeat of pressure from some key Democratic lawmakers who are urging him to do more and cancel $50,000 per borrower.
That puts Biden in a tough political spot as Americans are struggling with rising inflation in a midterm election year. The administration is planning to extend a pandemic-related pause on federal student loan payments that had been set to resume May 1, CNN has reported.
