Congressman Tim Ryan was confronted on CNN by State of the Union guest host Dana Bash on Sunday after he came out in opposition to Joe Biden’s decision to cancel some student loan debt for millions of Americans.
Mr Biden announced last week that his administration would cancel up to $10,000 in student loan debt for Americans with outstanding federal loans and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients. The move was cheered by many in his own party, especially progressives, but was a hard pill to swallow for conservatives who just suffered another recent defeat with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.
