On Thursday, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said Biden was looking into the \u201clegal authority and policy issues\u201d involved if he were to forgive $50,000 of debt per student.<\/p>\n<p>Biden used a promise of wiping $10,000 of loan debt during the campaign to earn the votes of the progressive wing of his party. However, since he took office those same progressives, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)&nbsp; and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have been pushing him to go further.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The student loan system is fundamentally broken. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenWarren?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenWarren<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepPressley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepPressley<\/a>, and I are calling on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> to cancel up to $50k in federal student loan debt.
