President Joe Biden’s sweeping student loan forgiveness plan has drawn mixed reactions from Democrats, many of whom have long-called for student debt relief.
Biden announced Wednesday that he would cancel $10,000 in student debt for borrowers making under $125,000 per year, and $20,000 in debt for students who received Pell Grants.
Republicans railed against the plan, calling it « astonishingly unfair, » while some Democrats called for even more relief. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said she would « keep pushing » for more relief for « those in the highest amounts of debt. »
While critiques from Republicans were to be expected, here are the Democrats who have criticized Biden’s debt relief plan and what they said.Kansas Rep. Sharice Davids
Rep. Sharice Davids, a Democrat in Kansas, said she would have approached the student debt crisis differently.
« I do still have student loans, and it’s part of how I know this is a super important issue, » Davis said on NBC’s « Meet the Press. »
« I would have approached this differently, » Davids said.
