Description
The Biden administration on Wednesday announced it was canceling up to
$10,000 of student debt for millions of people and up to $20,000 of debt
for low- and middle-income borrowers who previously received a Pell
Grant.
But Biden’s long-awaited plan to cancel some student debt, one of the
most contentious issues dividing Democrats, has reignited the
intra-party policy wars.
Politico's education reporter Michael Stratford explains how
deliberations went down and how it will play in the midterms.
