Canceling student loan debt is the latest bid by Democrats to win votes and prevent the House chamber from flipping red this fall, according to Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.).

“Delaying this until now, pretty close to the election, is certainly a political ploy,” the congresswoman told Capitol Report, a program on The Epoch Times’ sister media NTD, hours after the Biden administration said it will forgive $10,000 in federal student loan debt for borrowers who meet the low-income test.
