On 10/1/2022 evening, President Joe Biden & VP Kamala Harris delivered remarks at the 2022 Phoenix awards dinner. Dr. Jill Biden and Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff joined Joe Biden at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in DC. During the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation event in Washington D.C., Biden compared his executive action to cancel $10,000 of federal student loan debt for certain borrowers making less than $125,000 per year, and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients, to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) established by the CARES Act, which passed Congress with bipartisan support during the Trump administration. Biden again slammed Republicans who received small business relief loans PPP but now criticize his action to forgive hundreds of billions in student loan debt.
