Ohio Sen. JD Vance, former President Trump's pick for his running mate, has emerged as a vocal critic of the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan. President Biden's proposal aimed to cancel a portion of student loan debt for borrowers earning up to $125,000 a year, a move that faced strong opposition from Republicans.
Sen. Vance, in his 2022 U.S. Senate race against Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan, strongly opposed the student loan handout, labeling it as a 'massive windfall to the rich, college-educated, and university administrators.' He argued that forgiving student debt would unfairly burden Ohio workers with paying off loans for Harvard Law students.
