So it's kind of vital for the republicans that this won't pass? I mean imagine being "forgiven" whatever you still owes for your studies by the Democrats, you have to be a hardliner not to feel for the Democrats after that.

I hope you all get your debts forgiven ❤️ !

Way I see it, it's way better than that. It's lose-lose for Republicans. They either further delegitimize their court and be seen opposing relief, or students get relief and they can't take credit for it.
