Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) are pushing the Biden administration to cancel millions of dollars in federal student loan debt to boost their electoral prospects this fall, a Washington Post columnist alleged this week.James Hohmann made the claim to “The Bulwark Podcast” host Charlie Sykes days after the outlet reported that the president was leaning toward canceling up to $10,000 of debt per borrower. The report caused outrage among Republicans, who have warned that scrapping student debt would amount to a bailout of the upper middle class and transfer the burden onto the less affluent. “I’ve asked a lot of people in the White House this question, and essentially the answer is that this is the fault of Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock,” Hohmann said after Sykes asked how the Biden administration could justify such a radical move.
