The House Democrats who said Biden should drop out of the 2024 race were Reps. Adam Smith of Washington, Jerry Nadler of New York, Mark Takano of California and Joe Morelle of New York. Some House Democrats in battleground districts are weighing whether to distance themselves from Biden. "President Biden is a good man & I appreciate his lifetime of service," she wrote in a post to X. During the interview, Biden dismissed the calls for him to step aside and said only the "Lord Almighty" could get him to reconsider his presidential bid. "Look, I mean, if the Lord Almighty came down and said, 'Joe, get out of the race,' I'll get out of the race," Biden said during the interview.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., introduced the Pay Teachers Act last week, aiming to set a national minimum salary for public school teachers at $60,000 using federal funds. It's unclear if either bill has a chance at passing through Congress and how quickly that could happen. Currently, the average salary for teachers in 37 states and the District of Columbia sits below $60,000, according to WalletHub research. Teacher salaries vary widely depending on where you live. Teaching in New York, the highest-paying state, could mean earning roughly $33,000 more than teaching in Hawaii, the state with the lowest average teacher salary.
Democrats introduced a bill to make student loans easier to pay off after Biden's debt relief. The bill would improve PSLF while lowering interest rates on new student loans. "Simply put, by making loans cheaper to take out and easier to pay off, the LOAN Act will help improve the lives of student-loan borrowers — both now and in the future." Specifically, according to a fact sheet, the Democrats' bill would:Double the Pell Grant by raising the maximum award over five years to $13,000. But Democrats are continuing to laud the loan forgiveness, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is on board with taking the relief further.
