“When President Joe Biden announced student loan debt relief this week, his allies celebrated. But a string of Democrats in tight races across the country want little to do with it,” NBC News reports.
“That’s because the president may have just handed Republicans a new line of attack at a moment when Democrats were strengthening their positions in swing states and signs were emerging that the party could stave off what was to have been a GOP sweep in the midterm elections, campaign officials, party members, pollsters and national strategists in both parties say.”
“Republicans are betting there will be a backlash against debt forgiveness in states or districts where college attainment is low.”
