U.S. President Joe Biden plans to announce on Wednesday that his administration has approved an additional $9 billion in student debt relief for 125,000 borrowers, the White House said.

Biden has said he will pursue new measures to provide student loan relief to Americans after the Supreme Court blocked his plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.

The president’s announcement, planned for 1 p.m. EDT at the White House, will bring the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden administration to $127 billion for nearly 3.6 million Americans, the White House said.

          You aren’t actually serious right?

          Cornell has bumbled his micro campaign into irrelevance within weeks of it starting. He’s shown no political savvy. He has run for and won no prior office. He’d be a disaster.

          Fetterman, or literally any progressive who has won a federal election is a better option.

            I’m voting for cornel west because I like what he says, not what people say about him. but the people talking shit on him cement my belief he’s the right guy.

            Not true at all, still polling at 5% and will get at least that in the general.

            Not surprised someone who thinks a walking corpse like Fetterman is a better option would be so ignorant.

            Dude, if Fetterman ran I’d vote for him in an instant. Doubly so if he took the oath of office in shorts and a hoodie

              You shouldn’t, He just entered federal Politics. He needs experience and more importantly he needs to be stabilize his Health before he would even dream of going to the next level.

                  He just needs more experience. He didn’t debate well either. Oz was just such a dumb candidate.

                    Agree to disagree. I think he’d do fine. He’ll debate better than Biden. He’s got a record of victory against big names.

                    Thats plenty. We could have elected a boot in 2020 to oust Trump. We basically elected weekend at bernies Biden. But its fine. Whatever it takes.

                    And honestly, I’d be shocked if there are even debates. If Trump doesn’t’ show up for primary debates, he doesn’t deserve the privileged and airtime that general debates would offer.
