Conservative critics of the debt-relief plan said Mr. Schumer is making a hard left turn ahead of his reelection bid in 2022.
“Chuck Schumer joining this attempt to bail out wealthy college grads at the expense of those who did not go to college is a sure signal that he fears Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a primary more than he wants to defend the country,” said Rick Manning, president of the conservative group Americans for Limited Government.
