Progressive Democrats push Biden to advance plans for student loan forgiveness

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Progressive Democrats are pushing President Joe Biden to take action on student loan forgiveness even as party leaders continue to forge a pathway to pass their stalled multitrillion-dollar reconciliation bill.

Roughly 45 million Americans hold $1.7 trillion in student loan debt, according to the US Federal Reserve.

Many of the individuals who took on the burden, alongside progressive lawmakers and consumer advocates, want Biden to forgive up to $50,000 in federally-held student debt per borrower.

The president has so far resisted, questioning whether he has the unilateral authority to make such a move.
