Student debt cancellation: On key initiatives, President Biden keeps getting sabotaged by his own allies.

Slate  

President Joe Biden’s student debt relief proposal is very popular; roughly 3 in 5 Americans support it. So the court’s decision to kill Biden’s student debt relief policy—and take between $10,000 and $20,000 out of the pockets of needy Americans—could mean electoral gains for Democrats. “But the answer to these problems is not the unchecked aggrandizement of executive power.” The message, essentially, was that the organization didn’t like that Biden was trying to pass student debt relief through executive action. To be sure, the Supreme Court needed little encouragement to strike down Biden’s signature student debt relief proposal. It’s not Hoffman’s or Protect Democracy’s fault that the court killed student debt relief, but for a self-appointed Biden booster and believer in the Biden theory of politics, Hoffman sure isn’t helping his guy.
