Biden's student debt remarks in 2021 led White House staff to appease progressives, new book says
Fox News
Statements made by President Biden in Wisconsin last year created a tug of war between moderate and progressive Democrats over student debt forgiveness and forced some from the White House to clean up the president's remarks, according to an upcoming book from two New York Times reporters.
Speaking at a Milwaukee town hall in February 2021, Biden rejected an audience member's plea for his administration to forgive at least $50,000 in student loans for Americans across the country.
"I will not make that happen," Biden said. "It depends on whether or not you go to a private university or public university."
