Foxx. 2023 is a great time for Republicans to make this play, as somewhere between ten and 250 Republicans in the House and Senate seem likely to run for president in 2024 and this is great messaging in a GOP primary. Additionally, a certain Biden veto makes this a vote with no real consequences, allowing people to vote yes without cutting off access to federal loans. There is a realistic chance that legislation would pass Congress while not becoming law," but that could change after Nov 2024. <br /><br />https://robertkelchen.com/2022/04/05/will-republicans-try-to-end-the-federal-student-loan-program/<br /><br /> https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2022/04/29/higher-education-faces-its-own-tea-party-opinionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
