On August 24, 2022, the Biden administration announced a new initiative on college student debt forgiveness, where borrowers are eligible for $10,000 in loan forgiveness, or $20,000 if they are Pell grant recipients. On today's show, I chat with Mallory SoRelle, assistant professor of public policy at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, and Serena Laws, senior lecturer of political science at Trinity College, about the public opinion surrounding this initiative and debt relief more generally, and whether this policy might affect the upcoming midterm elections.
