MADISON, Wis. (AP) — President Joe Biden says student loan relief will empower Americans to pursue their dreams without the burden of debt. He visited Wisconsin on Monday to announce new steps to help more than 30 million people. The trip came a week after primary voting in the Midwest battleground state highlighted weaknesses for the Democratic president as he seeks reelection.
Young voters have been impatient for Biden to follow through on his campaign promise to slash debt after the U.S. Supreme Court foiled his initial plan last year. The new plan is smaller and would expand federal student loan relief to new categories of borrowers.
