President-elect Joe Biden admitted that it's "unlikely" he will use an executive order to eliminate upwards of $50,000 in student loan debt.

"It's arguable that the president may have the executive power to forgive up to $50,000 in student debt," Biden told a group of newspaper columnists Wednesday, per The Washington Post. "Well, I think that's pretty questionable. I'm unsure of that. I'd be unlikely to do that."

"I've spent most of my career arguing against the imperial presidency," Biden continued. "We got three equal branches of government. I’m confident that there are a number of areas that are of such consequence that they go beyond the partisan boundaries."
