Biden Plan to Forgive Student Debt Hinges on Democratic Control of Senate
President-elect Joe Biden’s ability to deliver on his plan to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in student debt faces steep odds unless Democrats take control of the Senate.
Barring that outcome—which hinges on two Georgia races in January—Democrats have urged a second option: bypassing Congress through executive action. It isn’t clear whether such a move would survive a legal challenge.
During the election campaign, Mr. Biden said he would push to forgive $10,000 in debt for every American with federal student loans to help them cope with the economic disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
He has also called for forgiving any student debt that covered tuition at public colleges for borrowers earning under $125,000, and any student debt owed by those who show they were defrauded by for-profit colleges.

Getting anything done hinges on control of the Senate. Otherwise Moscow Mitch will sit on his wrinkled old ass doing what he does best, nothing.
