While progressives have pushed for student debt forgiveness, the measure is met with lukewarm support among moderate Democrats.
As the Supreme Court weighs whether President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan is constitutional, several Democratic lawmakers agreed to a bill that would block the proposal from being enacted.
Wednesday’s vote comes a week after the House approved the bill by a 218-203 margin. Democratic Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington voted in favor. “President Biden’s student loan transfer scheme shifts hundreds of billions of dollars of payments from student loan borrowers onto the backs of the American people,” said the bill’s sponsor Rep. Bob Good, R-Virginia. “I am proud to lead the fight against President Biden’s reckless, unilateral, and unauthorized action that would unfairly penalize those who worked hard to pay off their loans or who never took them out in the first place.
