President Biden is expected to announce Wednesday that he will cancel some federal student loan debt for tens of millions of Americans

with student debt. The action could render up to 15 million borrowers whose balances are under $10,000 entirely free of student debt.within a “couple of weeks,” which didn’t come to fruition.

Mr. Biden spoke by phone on Tuesday night with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to discuss the issue, and he separately held a joint call with Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Raphael Warnock of Georgia, according to people with knowledge of the conversations. All three Democrats have been encouraging Mr. Biden to forgive student debt.

Polling has shown that Americans are divided on the issue of debt forgiveness, with support fluctuating depending on the details of the proposal. An NPR/Ipsos poll released in June found 55% support for the idea of forgiving up to $10,000 in student loan debt.

Biden aides 'talking daily' about student loans, expect decision soon: Education Secretary CardonaBeyond the pause in loan payments, the Biden administration has been under pressure from some Democratic lawmakers and student loan activists to forgive up to $50,000 in student loans. I still think $50,000 is ridiculous. I'll be happy if he pauses payments again and then sets up a better system of repayment options in the meantime. Sorry folks it’s not going to happen. You aren’t going to be rewarded for your negligent financial decision.
