    After the court slap down, he was only able to help about 1/5th to 1/6th of the original audience.

    That’s a lot of people who could stand to be reminded about what the GOP has blocked and what Harris would continue to push for.

      It was slapped down by the court because he was trying to use emergency powers act that did not give him the authority to forgive student debt. And in his opinion, Justice Roberts specified exactly how to go about forgiving student debt. Something that Biden has still yet to do.

        The court did NOT give Biden a way to enact loan forgiveness through executive action alone.

        The court said congress must pass a law. And there is too much opposition to loan forgiveness in congress. Even if the proposed legislation finally got through the senate, the GOP house would block it.

      Yep. That’s the point I was making. You do something like this right up to the election so you can push out last-minute ads to remind the public what the democrats have done and what was taken away by the Republicans.
