Biden Promised To Cancel $10,000 In Student Debt For All Borrowers. He Hasn't.

Progressives point to a law that gives the education secretary the unilateral power to discharge federal student debt as a mechanism Biden can use to fulfill his promise to forgive $10 thousand in student loans for all borrowers. The White House has so far insisted the move would require an act of Congress.

This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, White House correspondent Asma Khalid, and education correspondent Cory Turner.
