Why Biden low polling: feeling differently; Biden On Reparation Bill; student loan forgiveness


Q: Biden’s polling still in low 40s A: we know Americans feeling economy a little bit differently
On 6/14/2023, a reporter asked Karine Jean-Pierre, “You’ve described some of the accomplishments that the President has made and the investments in the country. And yet, the President’s polling is still in the 40s — in the low 40s.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: … we know that there’s more work to do. And we know that sometimes Americans — there are some Americans here in this country who feel — who are feeling the economy a little bit differently, who feel like there’s — there — that there’s more work that can be done … And look, it’s completely opposite of what — of Republicans in Congress want to do. They want to reward the wealthy, the corporation — give them a tax break. That’s what we have seen from them.

Q: plan B if SCOTUS overturns student loan forgiveness? A: He he vetoed GOP bill, confident pathway

Reporter: For months, the White House has declined to discuss a possible plan B if the President’s student loan debt forgiveness program is overturned by the Supreme Court. Now, with a SCOTUS decision expected this month, perhaps in a matter of days, several constituencies are urging Biden to be ready to act. The NAACP, in a letter today to Biden, wrote, “Should the Supreme Court fail to uphold student debt relief, Black America demands that your administration pursue all legal pathways to make a permanent solution” on student loan debt. Is the White House prepared to transition to an alternative method for student loan forgiveness if the President’s plan is rejected in court?

KJP: So, look, we continue to be confident in our legal — kind of, our legal pathway here … he vetoed the most recent attempt by congressional Republicans to block his student debt. That was a con- — that was — remember, that was part of the — a major piece of contention during the budget negotiations. And the President protected that.

Reporter: Okay. So, as for whether there is a plan B — if it is struck down, you still can’t say whether there —

KJP: I’m just saying that we’re going to focus on the fight that’s in front of us right now.

KJP: Biden Hasn’t “Reviewed The Proposal Yet” On Reparations
Reporter: the issue of reparations continues to be something that is being parsed out on the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue.
And with that said, you know, the late John Conyers started with, you know, a study. Now you have Congresswoman Bush not just asking for study, but she’s creating a resolution to push forward on reparations. What does this White House believe when it comes to this controversial issue of repairing a wrong for the descendants of Africans in this nation?

KJP: … As it relates to reparations, I — I saw just moments ago the — Cori Bush’s resolution. We haven’t reviewed the proposal yet. It’s a new proposal. So I’ll take a look at it. So I can’t comment on that specifically. But the President has been really clear when it — as it relates to reparation, he wants to see a study of reparations, and that — and studying the continuing impacts of slavery. He believes that is incredibly important.

Q: Biden believe financial repair for blacks? A: equity at the center, on federal level
Reporter: This has been one of the biggest issues over the decades about how to repair the enslavement over generations of Africans brought to this country for free labor … Does the President believe in a financial repair for the descendants of Africans in this nation?

KJP: … the President called out how race — race inequality is a problem — right? — is a crisis for us in this moment, which is why he is taking comprehensive action. When you think about what he did on the first couple of days that he walked in: put — signing an executive order to make sure that on a federal level that we put equity at the center — at the center of this. And it is important that we continue to do this. How do we deal with the inequalities that we see in this country? And he’s trying to do that on the federal level.

KJP Says Biden Has Had “Equity At The Center Of Everything That He’s Done”
KJP said that Biden “he’s been very clear — he’s been very clear how important it is, even just looking at the — his economic policy — how important it is to leave no one behind, have equity at the center of everything that he’s done. If you look at every piece of historic piece of legislation that has passed that he has signed, it has equity at the center of that. And that’s because the President has that in mind — right? — to make sure that we have equality, to make sure that we leave no one behind.”

Q: letter from the NAACP on student debt relief? A: he’ll fight for it, deals in an equitable way
Reporter: Can you say whether the President has actually read that letter from the NAACP on
