Democrats Reintroduce Bill to Keep Spotlight on Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness Plan

While President Joe Biden's far-reaching plan to forgive student debt remains in doubt, Democrats for the second time this week are making a case for Congress’s role in addressing the debt crisis. On Tuesday, a cadre of roughly 125 progressives in the Senate and House issued a letter reiterating their support for Biden’s beleaguered plan and hinting at upcoming legislation to support loan relief. Then on Thursday, a pair of Democratic leaders in the House announced the reintroduction of a bill that would lower college costs and make it easier for current and future borrowers to pay off their debt.
