The incoming Biden administration is facing pressure from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party to place student-loan forgiveness at the top of its agenda, citing an interview with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who recently said that the first $50,000 of a former student’s debt could be canceled by executive order.
In the Nov. 3 interview with The Ink, Schumer cited President Franklin Roosevelt as a model for the first 100 days of a Biden administration. It’s a comparison that Joe Biden himself has already made, suggesting he might make moves to bolster the working class and strengthen labor unions.
