Vice President Kamala Harris warned college students Thursday there is an “intentional, full-on attack” against hard-won freedoms in America, hoping to energize young voters who fueled her win with President Biden in 2020 and could determine if they are reelected.
Ms. Harris said abortion access is under threat following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and that older lawmakers “don’t get it” when it comes to gun violence, pointing to the large number of young students who must participate in active-shooter drills.
“When I see you I know the future of our country is bright and full of promise,” Ms. Harris told about 150 students in an overflow area outside the auditorium. Ms. Harris said the administration is keenly aware of “climate anxiety” among young people and concerns about equitable racial treatment, pointing to big-dollar investments in green projects and efforts to replace lead pipes in minority communities.
Ms. Harris is trying to create momentum for a 2024 campaign that is shaping into a rematch with former President Donald Trump, and a closer one than Democrats would like.The situation is raising speculation among columnists and pundits that Mr. Biden could drop out late or switch out his running mate. Ms. Harris has been dogged by low approval ratings that sit around 40%.
A plan to wipe away thousands of dollars in student loan debt for each borrower ran into trouble in Congress and the courts, so Mr. Biden introduced the SAVE income-driven plan that calculates loan payments based on a borrower’s income and family size and forgives remaining balances after a certain number of years.
