State AG calls on Biden to cancel up to $50K in student debt

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Delaware’s Attorney General is part of a group of attorney generals across the nation who are pushing for President Joe Biden to cancel up to $50,000 in federal student loan debt for all borrowers.

The News Journal reported Tuesday that Kathy Jennings was one of 17 attorneys general to sign a letter this month. It was addressed to U.S. Senate and House leadership and supports resolutions that call on Biden to cancel the loans.

A spokesman for Delaware’s Democratic AG said she believes student loan debt is a crisis that will continue spiraling without “serious action.”

But Biden has recently said he won’t enact a $50,000 student debt forgiveness plan.
