21:01Now PlayingThe Debt Collective's Eleni Schirmer joins Emma in discussing where Biden's student debt relief plan stands today.
A group of Democratic lawmakers, including prominent figures like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have written a letter to President Biden urging him to fulfill his commitment to provide relief from student debt. This appeal comes as interest is about to restart on student loans after a pause of over three years. The Democrats express disappointment over the Supreme Court's rejection of Biden's initial plan to offer at least $10,000 in relief to student loan borrowers. They commend his efforts to initiate a rulemaking process for the Higher Education Act of 1965 to address debt relief and call for swift action to cancel student debt by early 2024. The letter also raises concerns about the potential spike in delinquencies and defaults once repayment resumes, urging the Department of Education to ensure timely implementation of the relief measures. Despite Biden's more centrist approach on the issue, the letter highlights his efforts to provide student loan forgiveness through alternative methods, such as aiding defrauded students and adjusting income-driven repayments.
