Senate Dem in key battleground race flip-flopped on student debt under Biden: No 'magic wand'

Longtime Senate Democrat Bob Casey has flip-flopped on student debt forgiveness, with unearthed video showing he did not support debt forgiveness in 2014.

"I think, in Pennsylvania, the average about 70% of students have debt that hovers around – and these are very much averages – a little more than $30,000, about $32,000. There’s probably some people who say, ‘My God, I wish I had 32, mine’s much higher,’" Casey told Penn State’s student newspaper, the Daily Collegian, in a video interview published in October 2014. 

"There’s certainly people that have much higher numbers. And the federal government can't come in and come up with a magic wand that will wipe away all debt. But there are some things we can do."
