Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said President Joe Biden’s newly announced student loan forgiveness would drive up “wildly unfair redistribution” of wealth, benefitting only higher-earning elites of the country.

“President Biden’s student loan socialism is a slap in the face to every family who sacrificed to save for college, every graduate who paid their debt, and every American who chose a certain career path or volunteered to serve in our Armed Forces in order to avoid taking on debt,” McConnell said in a Wednesday statement.
