This announcement by President Biden is no way to make policy and sidesteps Congress and our oversight and fiscal responsibilities, any plan to address student debt should go through the legislative process, and it should be more targeted and paid for, so it doesn’t add to the deficit. The president’s plan also doesn’t address the underlying issue of the affordability of higher education, and it is clear that the high cost continues to limit opportunities available to students.

From the COVID-19 pandemic to the ongoing addiction crisis and spikes in crime and violence, our law enforcement officials and first responders need additional support to meet our communities' needs and keep people safe, they can’t do this alone, and that is why in Congress I’ve led the fight to bring additional funding and support to our first responders and law enforcement.

People see this as a really egregious attack on women's health, and they've seen onerous laws being passed at the … state level all across the country, and so this decision is going to be impactful.
