Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) spoke out in opposition to President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, referring to it as excessive.

Manchin shared his concerns with reporters on Tuesday, according to a report by The Hill.

“I just thought that it was excessive. I just respectfully disagree on that,” Manchin said.

“I think there’s other ways. When people were calling me from back in West Virginia, I would give them all the options they had that would reduce their loan by going to work in the federal government,” he added.
