Biden spends another $billion buying votes

The Biden administration announced Thursday it would forgive $1.2 billion in student debt held by 35,000 public service workers.

President Joe Biden will have forgiven $168.5 billion across 4.76 million student loan borrowers following the most recent round of debt relief, according to the Department of Education. The billions in debt relief comes as the president lags in the polls behind former President Donald Trump and as he faces calls from within his party to drop out of the presidential election due to perceived electoral weakness.

Some Republicans have criticized the Biden administration's debt forgiveness programs as a ploy to provide financial incentives to vote for them.
