“He’ll look at the policy issues around that, and he’ll make a decision.”
President Joe Biden is looking into whether he has the authority to take executive action to cancel federal student loan debt. During an interview with Politico on Thursday, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said, “He asked his secretary of Education, who’s just been on the job a few weeks, once he got on the job to have his department prepare a memo on the president’s legal authority. And hopefully we’ll see that in the next few weeks.” “And then he’ll look at that legal authority, he’ll look at the policy issues around that, and he’ll make a decision,” Klain added.
