WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and fellow Democrats Elizabeth Warren and Raphael Warnock pitched President Joe Biden to go big with student loan forgiveness during a White House meeting Wednesday.
The three Democrats, who have been leading the effort in the Senate, support $50,000 in student debt relief, which is five times what Biden has indicated he would support.
“I’m pushing him to do this in a way that we help the Georgia folks I’m running into everyday,” said Warnock, who is running for re-election in a hotly contested race for his Georgia seat.
