With another vulnerable House member facing a tough re-election battle this year, the list of Democrats opposed to President Biden's student debt handout continued to grow.
In an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital, Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., argued that debt relief should have been more targeted.
Something needs to be done to make college more affordable for students and to make sure they don't end up with debt for the rest of their lives. This is not how she would have done it.
I wish there was a way to pay for this plan. Debt forgiveness can be used to channel students into careers where we need help the most.
The Democrats had a lot of money in campaign funds prior to student loans.
Some Democrats have characterized Biden's plan as a left-wing dream.
Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., is one of the vulnerable House Democrats.
Sharice Davids, D-Kan., and Rep.Jared Golden, D-Maine, spoke out against the plan.
Several Democrats are running in tight congressional races.
The White House doesn't have an idea of how much student loan debt will cost.
Outside the vast number of elected officials speaking out against Biden's plan, there are two former Democratic administration officials who voiced their concerns.
It's reckless to pour half trillion dollars of gasoline on the inflationary fire. It's worse if you do it while going well beyond one campaign promise and breaking another proposal.
Every dollar spent on student loan relief is a dollar that could have been used to support those who don't get the chance to go to college.
According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Biden's plan could cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars more than other estimates.
