President Joe Biden is being accused of election-year ‘bribery’ after promising to slash the student loans of at least 153,000 voters.
Biden has repeatedly been rebuked by the courts for attempting to unconstitutionally cancel student loan debt. But on Wednesday, Biden once again showed that the law is no obstacle for partisan electioneering of mostly Democratic college students in an election campaign that is now considered to be a longshot.
Politico reported on the Biden administration’s student loan cancellation and electioneering:
President Joe Biden on Wednesday will announce $1.2 billion of student debt relief for nearly 153,000 borrowers — and he’s sending emails to make sure they know whom to thank for it.
The administration’s latest tranche of loan forgiveness covers borrowers who are enrolled in Biden’s new loan repayment program, initially borrowed $12,000 or less and have been repaying their debt for at least 10 years.
Biden will tout the relief and his administration’s broader efforts to cancel student loan debt for tens of millions of Americans during remarks in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The Politico reported the previous loan discharges amounting to tens of billions, as well as the White House’s boasting about the student loan cancellations.
