PITTSBURGH — In a rare moment of unity between the two major political parties, both Democrats and Republicans in Pennsylvania met with excitement President Joe Biden's decision last week to cancel a large chunk of student debt for individual borrowers.
And how it will impact their party's chances in the November midterm elections.
For Pennsylvania Democrats, it's promises made, promises delivered for Biden, a base-energizing win that allows the party's foot soldiers to say to an entire generation of voters that they have their backs. Many of those Democrats, too, had warned their own party for months that if the president didn't cancel some student loan debt, it'd impact their midterm chances in a crucial cycle.
