Senator Bernie Sanders, a 2020 presidential candidate, unveiled a student debt forgiveness plan Monday in a move that could make a difference with Generation Z voters come Election Day.

"By taking this action we not only provide immediate financial relief to 45 million Americans who have $1.6 trillion in debt but we will be improving the entire economy," Sanders said during a press conference. Barnes & Noble College noted that Generation Z voters were predicted to account for one-in-10 eligible voters, with 95 percent of college students who were registered voters responding they had plans to vote in 2020. Three out of four students were already registered to vote and 60 percent of those who weren't said they planned to register.

Sixty-four percent of survey respondents identified as Democrats and 32 percent identified as Republican.
