Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is reacting to President Joe Biden’s position on student loan forgiveness.

She took to Twitter on Wednesday to share a video of Biden during the CNN town hall on Tuesday night.

He was asked how he will make canceling $50,000 of student debt per borrower happen.

“I will not make that happen,” he replied.

Biden also said it depends on whether the student went to a private or public university.

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response, “The case against student loan forgiveness is looking shakier by the day. We’ve got the Senate Majority Leader on board to forgive $50k. Biden’s holding back, but many of the arguments against it just don’t hold water on close inspection. We can and should do it. Keep pushing!”

“Who cares what school someone went to? Entire generations of working class kids were encouraged to go into more debt under the guise of elitism. This is wrong,” she added.

Biden also suggested the money could be used on early childhood education.

Ocasio-Cortez argued, “Nowhere does it say we must trade-off early childhood education for student loan forgiveness. We can have both.”

The case against student loan forgiveness is looking shakier by the day.

We’ve got the *Senate Majority Leader* on board to forgive $50k. Biden’s holding back, but many of the arguments against it just don’t hold water on close inspection.

We can and should do it. Keep pushing!

Biden said he believes everyone should be able to go to community college for free.

He explained he is “prepared to write off the $10,000 debt, but not [$50,000].”

On Feb. 4, Democrats urged Biden to use executive action to cancel $50,000 in student loan debt, as IJR reported.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) signed the resolution.

“Canceling student loan debt is the single most effective executive action that President Biden can take to kick-start the economy. Canceling student loan debt is good for you, whether you have student loan debt or not, because it is good for our economy,” Warren said this month.
