Joe Biden has no constitutional authority to unilaterally strike down student loan debt. Congress must act to allow this to occur. The Supreme Court will strike down this move. The Biden administration knows this. Which is why this is simply a craven political move for midterms.
Almost all media arguments will focus on whether this is a good idea or not. The real story is it’s blatantly unconstitutional. But it won’t be struck down until well after the midterms. When that happens Democrats will blame the court in 2024 campaign.
The real question all should be asking is this: if taking on 300+ billion in student loan debt for the American taxpayer is politically popular, why didn’t Biden introduce legislation & pass this with Democrat majorities in House and Senate? Because Congress wouldn’t pass it.
This is essentially the eviction moratorium extension all over again. The president is acting unilaterally outside his own powers, & he knows it, for entirely political reasons. Media should do a better job explaining this. But they won’t. Because most media are Dem cheerleaders.
