President Joe Biden indicated that his administration is open to further action on student debt relief in a meeting Monday with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, according to a report from The Washington Post.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed the president’s comments in a briefing Tuesday, stating that he “is looking at other executive authority options he has to bring relief to people who have student loans,” and will make a decision before the current pause on loans ends on Aug. 31.
The White House did immediately respond to a request for comment.
More to come.
