President Biden announces three-step plan to forgive $10,000 in student loan debt for millions

shutterstock_1936368724-5

On Wednesday, President Biden announced his plan to tackle student loan debt, cancelling up to $20,000 of debt for those who received Pell Grants. The president’s plan includes $10,000 in loan forgiveness for borrowers who earn less than $125,000 annually and did not receive Pell Grants. The plan also extends the pause on federal student loan payments to Dec. 31, and allows undergraduate debt holders to cap repayment at 5% of their monthly income.

Biden said in his announcement Wednesday that the plan will fully cancel student debt for 20 million people: “That’s 20 million people who can start getting on with their lives,  All this means that people can finally start to crawl out from under that mountain of debt.”

Biden’s three-part plan includes giving aid for COVID-19-related hardships, making the student loan system more manageable and reducing the cost of college and holding schools accountable when they hike tuition. Biden said the plan will help as many as 43 million borrowers and entirely wipe away loan debts for 20 million people.

The $10,000 figure would fulfill a campaign promise from Biden and mark the largest forgiveness of federal student loans per individual to date. It’s believed that canceling the debt will cost the government about $300 billion.

Florida Democratic challenger Maxwell Frost on track to become first member of Gen Z elected to Congress

shutterstock_356091260

Democratic candidate Maxwell Frost won his primary in Florida on Tuesday, potentially becoming the first member of Generation Z to hold a seat in Congress. Those born between 1997 and 2012 are considered members of Gen Z; Frost was born in 1997.

The 25-year-old Frost is the projected Democratic challenger in Florida’s 10th District after defeating party establishment candidate and state Sen. Randolph Bracy among a field of eight other candidates. Frost tweeted: “We won! Thank you so much to all of our supporters, endorsers, volunteers and staff. We won because of our message: Love. That no matter who you are, you deserve healthcare, a livable wage, and to live free from gun violence. We made history tonight.”

Frost just meets the requirements to run for a seat in the House; lawmakers in the lower chamber must be at least 25 when they are sworn in.  If he wins in November, he will become the youngest member of Congress. Presently, the youngest is 27-year-old Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., who lost his primary earlier this year.

Frost will face Republican military veteran Calvin Wimbish for the Orlando-based seat, in a predominately Democratic district. Frost has a number of key national endorsements from progressive leaders, including Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
