I think Dems need to find a way to differentiate student loan debt situations. What ever he does there will be detractors in both parties and it's hard to see how he gets 50 votes on anything given the current make up of the Senate. Manchin and Sinema are probably not the only Dems that won't vote for cancelling $50K of debt. The end result may be a combination of some debt being cancelled and assistance on interest rates for the remaining debt.
