A leading Democratic lawmaker thinks her party can be doing more to tout President Joe Biden's work — especially when it comes to student-debt relief.
"The president has advanced student loan forgiveness just this month for people who have taken out SAVE loans under $12,000.
As a result, the Education Department began pursuing a new route for relief using the Higher Education Act of 1965.
The department concluded negotiations in December and proposed five groups of borrowers it's considering for the second attempt at relief.
Still, Biden and the Education Department have vowed to work quickly to get as much relief to borrowers as they can under the law.
