Young Americans are piling the blame for their student debt balances on conservatives, according to a poll by Generation Lab provided exclusively
to Axios.
Why it matters: The high court's recent decisions on education, including student loans and affirmative action, could drive young voters to the
polls.
Tens of millions of borrowers in the U.S. collectively owe more than $1 trillion.
Catch up quick: The Supreme Court's six conservative justices recently
killed President Biden's historic forgiveness plan — and the coming
payment resumption carries significant economic and political
implications.
Under Biden's plan, qualifying borrowers would have been forgiven for
loans up to $10,000 if they made under $125,000 per year or $20,000 for
Pell Grant recipients. Its announcement last summer incited immediate GOP backlash.
Republicans drove the lawsuits challenging it, criticizing it as a
"bailout for the wealthy," and GOP presidential candidates immediately
praised the Supreme Court's decision.
