“The Biden administration is considering extending the pause on federal student loan payments, which were set to restart on February 1,” CNN reports.
“The reversal comes less than two weeks after White House press secretary Jen Psaki had indicated that the administration was still planning to restart federal student loan payments in February, resisting pressure from some fellow Democrats who have been calling for an extension of coronavirus pandemic relief benefits.”
It would be a major unforced political error to force student loan payments to resume just 9 months from the midterm elections.
