Democrat Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer released a statement urging Joe Biden to “cancel student loan debt” the morning after he said he wouldn’t cancel $50,000 in debt during a CNN Presidential Town Hall.
It appears that the Democratic Party is dissatisfied with Biden. On the campaign trail, Biden had previously said “I will eliminate your student loan debt” while offering $10,000 worth of debt relief. Many supporters who want student loan debt relief have argued that this is not sufficient, given real cost of a college education.
“Presidents Obama and Trump used their executive authority to cancel student loan debt,” wrote the two Democrat senators.
Despite Bidens refusals, Democrats “are confident” that the Biden Administration “will agree with the standards Obama and Trump” had used when they were President and take “executive action” to cancel $50,000 in debt.
