Jill Biden: ‘Disappointed’ Democrats Could Not Deliver on Free Community CollegeJacob Bliss7 Feb 2022
First lady Jill Biden said at the Community College National Legislative Summit in Washington, DC, taking place between February 6-9 that she is “disappointed” that congressional Democrats could not pass the Build Back Better Act, along with a provision to allow eligible students two years of free community college education and, thus, fulfill a campaign promise.
She noted the Democrats took a provision out of the far-left behemoth spending bill that would have given eligible students two years of free education at community colleges, which she gave significant backing.
“But Joe has also to make compromises. Congress hasn’t passed the Build Back Better agenda—yet. And free community college is no longer a part of that,” she added. “We knew this wouldn’t be easy; Joe has always said that. Still, like you, I was disappointed because—like you—these aren’t just bills or budgets to me. We know what they mean for real people, for our students.”
The first lady, a professor at a community college in Virginia, mentioned to the summit that “Joe was going to fight for community colleges” but that the president “has also to make compromises” to get things done in Washington.
