So she has embraced what her boss, President Biden, has done, and that includes forgiving students.
$170 billion worth of student loans for about 5 million borrowers.
She's been pretty integral behind the scenes in making sure that happens.
And she said she wants to go further if she were elected, and she would continue the efforts that President Biden is currently engaged in.
to forgive loans on a large scale.
She said that she particularly wants to help people who are public servants, teachers, and people who have been defrauded by allegedly predatory for-profit colleges.
On her campaign website, she says that she will, quote, continue working to end the unreasonable burden of student debt and fight to make higher education more affordable so that college can be a ticket to the middle class.
So that's really at the core of her campaign.
During the pandemic, he was the person that started this years-long pause on student loan payments and interest accrual because of the hardship that so many Americans were facing during the pandemic.
He started that in March 2020, and President Biden, when he became president, continued it all the way until September 2023.
So there were a number of years there where people with federal student loans didn't have to pay, and there was no interest accruing.
He framed that as a temporary measure that was specific to the pandemic.
He hasn't said a whole lot exactly on how he would approach student loans or the cost of college.
But the Republican platform, which was approved by Republicans ahead of the convention in July, says that they want to make higher education more accessible by creating additional, drastically more affordable alternatives to traditional four-year colleges.
And they want to drive down the cost of tuition, although they haven't laid out a specific plan to do that.
Both candidates, for that matter, haven't laid out extremely detailed proposals on this issue.
Of course, Harris has the record of her boss, President Biden, to lean on.
We'll be looking to see what more they might lay out before the election.
Well, this is going to be an extremely close election.
Republicans and Democrats don't agree on much, but they agree on that.
