<ul class="summary-list"><li>House Republicans on the education committee criticized Democrats for supporting loan forgiveness.</li><li>They said it "makes no logical sense" to continue disbursing loans after any relief.</li></ul>Republican lawmakers aren't pleased that Democrats are supporting President Joe <keyword id="60973" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="biden" source="Orion">Biden</keyword>'s broad student-loan forgiveness plans.During a House education subcommittee hearing this week on tribal colleges and universities, some Republican lawmakers on the committee used the time to criticize Democratic lawmakers for failing to hold a hearing to fix "the spiraling student-loan catastrophe," as subcommittee Republican leader Mariannette Miller-Meeks <a href="https://republicans-edlabor.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=408427">put it</a>. Following the hearing, Democratic Rep. Leger Fernandez said that the "minority has decided to hijack this hearing to score political points about <keyword id="11896050" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="student-loans" source="Orion">student loans</keyword>."The Republicans on the committee later responded in a <a href="https://republicans-edlabor.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=408441">blog post</a>, slamming Democrats' student-loan relief plans."Republicans understand something Democrats, evidently, do not: America's wealthiest, who can pay their own loans, do not need a handout from taxpayers. These policies are unfair to those who have already paid back their loans or never even went to college," they wrote, adding that "forgiving the loans of students and graduates today, but handing out more loans tomorrow, makes no logical sense. But logic has never been Democrats' strong suit."Biden is nearing a decision on broad student-loan forgiveness for federal borrowers, and he's reportedly <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-announcing-cancel-10000-student-loan-debt-150000-income-cap-2022-5">considering</a> $10,000 in relief for borrowers making under $150,000 a year. With student-loan payments set to resume on September 1, a White House spokesperson confirmed to Insider that the president is still hoping to announce any broad relief before that date. While Democratic lawmakers are hoping the relief will be expansive without any thresholds, Republicans do not want to see any relief at all and accused Democrats of keeping "their heads in the sand as President Biden steamrolls Congress to grant mass <keyword id="12029999" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="student-loan-forgiveness" source="Orion">student loan forgiveness</keyword>."They have frequently used the argument that canceling <keyword id="11896049" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="student-debt" source="Orion">student debt</keyword> will benefit the wealthiest, rather than those who need the relief the most, and have said that addressing tuition costs is more important than debt forgiveness. Democrats and left-leaning experts have pushed back on that, with a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/warren-student-debt-cancellation-benefits-low-income-more-than-rich-2021-6">report</a> from the Roosevelt Institute last year finding that 61% of students with incomes of $30,000 and under who began college in 2012 graduated with student debt, compared to the only 30% of students with incomes $200,000.For now, it's still unclear what Biden will actually decide to do when it comes to broad relief. Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal said in a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEB1xwHTVq8&amp;t=1042s">interview</a> that the issue is more complicated than it might seem and "it's not a question of yes, you have the authority or no, you don't have the authority, there's a lot of hoops we have to go through." The department has maintained that regardless of relief, borrowers should still prepare to resume payments in just over a month.

It 'makes no logical sense' for Biden to cancel student debt while continuing to 'hand out loans,' House Republicans say

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Two ex-Sanders advisors have quietly pushed for Rep. Ro Khanna to launch a 2024 presidential bid if Biden doesn't run.</li><li>Per a Politico report, Jeff Weaver and Mark Longabaugh have thrown out the idea to Khanna.</li></ul>Top aides from Sen. Bernie Sanders' former presidential campaign are privately pressing Rep. Ro Khanna to launch a presidential bid in 2024 if <keyword id="11917122" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="president-joe-biden" source="Orion">President Joe Biden</keyword> declines to mount a reelection bid, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/17/sanders-khanna-presidential-bid-2024-00018017">according to Politico</a>.In promoting the progressive California Democrat, the figures from the Sanders camp are seeking to influence the future of the party as its liberal wing has become more ascendant in Congress and in local positions across the country, from mayors to district attorneys.Jeff Weaver, who managed Sanders' presidential campaign during the Vermont independent's first White House bid in 2016 and served as a senior advisor in the senator's second campaign in 2020, along with 2016 consultant Mark Longabaugh, have both asked Khanna to consider running in the event that Biden opts out of what is expected to be a bruising campaign.Former President Donald Trump — who lost to Biden in the 2020 election — has been angling to launch a third White House campaign, but has not officially declared his candidacy, which has effectively frozen the field of likely GOP contenders.And Democrats have been tight-lipped about a potential open seat, especially given Biden's indication that he <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-more-likely-to-run-in-2024-if-trump-runs-2021-12">fully intends</a> to run in 2024 with Vice President Kamala Harris as his ticketmate once again. Harris, who also hails from California and served as the state's junior senator from 2017 to 2021, had been long thought of as Biden's heir apparent in 2024 or 2028, but her <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-reboot-political-trajectory-first-year-stumbles-biden-democrats-2022-1">rocky</a> start to the vice presidency made some party members take a wait-and-see approach while looking at other candidates who could assemble a coalition needed to win a national election.Biden's numbers have been largely stagnant since the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan last year, although recent <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-approval-rating-bump-state-of-the-union-poll-2022-3">polling</a> has indicated a bump in support for the president, fueled by his handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.However, the former Sanders staffers remain committed to cultivating a next-generation leader who could take over the reins of what the Vermont senator started in his unsuccessful presidential bids.Longabaugh sang Khanna's praises as a lawmaker who could connect with ordinary Americans, but reiterated that he was only promoting a 2024 candidacy if Biden chose not to run for reelection."I think Ro would be a very effective candidate," <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/17/sanders-khanna-presidential-bid-2024-00018017">he told Politico</a>. "This guy has a message that's very powerful. … Ro is basically saying, 'Is there a way in which we can reconstruct the economy so that all of the wealth is not just being generated on the East Coast, West Coast, or out of my congressional district?'"Khanna <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ro-khanna-biden-strong-support-progressives-2024-reelection-democratic-agenda-2021-11">told</a> The Washington Post last November that Biden should expect strong backing from progressives in 2024."President Biden will enjoy strong support from many progressives when he runs for reelection," he told the newspaper. "He will certainly have mine."In a recent interview with Politico, Khanna dismissed talk of a 2024 campaign, but did not rule out a 2028 race."I'm not running in 2024," he told the outlet. "I fully expect the president to run and intend to support him strongly. If for some reason he didn't, that would be very disappointing, but there are a number of other candidates who I think I could get behind who would make sure that the Democrats beat Donald Trump."The congressman — who represents the Silicon Valley-anchored 17th congressional district that includes Cupertino, Santa Clara, and parts of San Jose — added that "after the '24 cycle will be a time where America will start to look to the future."<div type="image" title="Ro Khanna" height="3648" width="5472" msid="90328393" hostid="261"></div><h2>'The next generation of progressive leadership in America'</h2>While serving as a national cochair of Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign, Khanna spent a good deal of time in early-voting states, likely gaining invaluable contacts along the way.In February, he <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dignity-Digital-Age-Making-Tech/dp/1982163348">released</a> the book "Dignity in the Digital Age: Making Tech Work for All of Us," holding virtual and in-person events to promote the publication, which outlined his vision for tackling the country's technological divide.In a recent interview, Democratic consultant Joe Caiazzo told Politico that Khanna represents the future of the party's left-flank."It's crystal-clear that Ro Khanna is a part of the next generation of progressive leadership in America," he told the outlet.Khanna, who attended the University of Chicago and Yale Law School and describes himself as a "progressive capitalist," wants to see the US economy buttressed by tech jobs in Middle America.Weaver said that Sanders would likely start a presidential bid with the strong backing of many progressives, who have long yearned for concrete action on issues ranging from student-loan debt to climate change, only to see more conservative Democrats stymie many of the party's boldest initiatives like the Build Back Better Act. He also reiterated that his comments about a 2024 Khanna campaign are only applicable if Biden declines to run for a second term."I think he would have tremendous appeal among people who supported Bernie. I do, absolutely, 100 percent," Weaver said to Politico regarding Khanna. "He has a thoughtful take on the economy, which I think a lot of working-class people that Democrats have had difficulty reaching would hear."
