15:27Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden pledged to tackle the trillion-dollar student loan debt crisis during his campaign, but when asked about whether he would support canceling $50,000 for 43 million American borrowers, the President balked.
President Biden answered the question during a CNN town hall Tuesday night in Wisconsin, exacerbating several Democratic congressional leaders who continue to aggressively push for the amount.
Biden has earmarked forgiving $10,000 in federal student loans but many, like Rep. Ilhan Omar who Tweeted her stance Thursday morning, believe he has the power to forgive more.
Arisha Hatch, Vice President/Chief of Campaigns of Color of Change spoke with Roland Martin about the battle over student loan debt during Thursday's edition of #RMU.
