      This does seem to be happening and it presents some great opportunities for Democrats. The main worry is Biden's team, which has some great people but also some people deeply shaped by the anti-welfare politics of the past (Reed, Tanden). https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1341570080224800770 …

      No, the main worry is that Mitch McConnell will remain in control of the US Senate and make GOP obstructionism of the Obama administration look like a tea party compared to what we will see now. @mattyglesias

      There are a lot of measures Biden can do without the Senate -- cancel student loans for example -- which he won't do.

      I don't understand the source of your confidence that Biden will not use an executive order for student loan forgiveness, since he supports the policy and has not stated any view, one way or another, on using an executive order.

      Maybe you have some in into the Biden transition that I don't, but somehow I doubt that.

      Biden chided progressives for being too eager to use executive power & if all his talk of student loans is partial, contingent forgiveness, far short of what he could do.

          Biden has lined up a whole host of executive orders for his first day in office, so the idea that he is reluctant to use it is unfounded. What he said was that he was not prepared to use to usurp legislative power, with the example of an assault weapons ban...

          Such a ban had indeed been written into federal law at one point, but it expired. The idea that executive orders should just replace legislative authority is a very troubling one for anyone who is committed to democratic governance.
