There's been a lot of talk about Democrats running in swing states being "divided" over Biden canceling student debt for millions of mostly low-income and middle class borrowers.

But so far, the response has actually been overwhelmingly positive -- including by Democrats in competitive races across the country.

It turns out that it's popular to help 43 million Americans including millions who went to vocational schools and millions more who didn't finish -- sometimes because their parents or other family members died from Covid.

Check out the quotes from swing-state Dems who are supporting student debt forgiveness below.

If you like what you see, chip in $1 each to several Dems running in swing states and districts whose elections and re-elections are crucial for Democrats to keep control of Congress.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (GA-Sen), who has pushed relentlessly on this issue -- said, "This announcement will help many Georgians, some of whom have been struggling with debt for decades, get their financial footing, and it will help keep our economy strong and growing."

Mark Kelly, (AZ-Sen) said, "The reality is college costs too much, and the federal government should not be profiting off of young graduates."

Mandela Barnes' (WI-Sen) campaign said, "Barnes supports common sense proposals to lower costs, including some student loan relief and a middle class tax cut. The Lt. Governor knows the (Biden) plan will help Wisconsinites...."

John Fetterman (PA-Sen) said, "We’ve had trillions in resources to bail out big banks, trillions in tax cuts for the wealthiest 1%. We need to bring these resources to bear to cancel student debt, both here in PA and in the United States."

Sen. Maggie Hassan (NH-Sen) said, "The rising cost of higher education has led to greater and greater debt for far too many Granite Staters....the administration's announcement is a balanced compromise approach that will help those who need it the most."

Rep. Val Demings (FL-Sen) said, "Today’s relief is targeted to the middle class, has new reforms to make it easier to work off loans, and will expand opportunity for everyone."

Rep. Angie Craig (MN-02) said, "The executive order announced today will help provide a bit of debt relief and give folks time to plan to start repaying those student loans. But we have to work to make college more affordable and make sure students know that technical education can also offer great careers as well without the burden of excessive student loan debt."

Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) said, "The student debt crisis is placing a massive burden on low-income and middle-class families, and I strongly support action to lower the cost of higher education, expand Pell Grants, and provide debt relief for those who need it most."

Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03) said, "You have folks who took out $20K for a loan. They made payments for 10 years and now they owe $30K. That’s more than they borrowed to even start with. Part of this decision that the president made is to address that."

Rep. Dina Titus (NV-01) said, "Today’s announcement goes one step further in making higher education more accessible for everyone. Affordable college is not only an investment in generations to come; it is also an investment in our economic viability, workforce, and leadership on the global stage."

Rep. Colin Allred (TX-32) said, "For so many, like people of color disproportionately impacted by the burden of student loan debt, @POTUS’ relief plan will mean a lot. With it, we'll make progress in closing the racial wealth gap so more folks can live their version of the American dream."

Rep. Abigail Spanberger (VA-07) said, "I think there are certainly benefits to many individuals, to communities, to the ability to invest. But I don’t want the conversation to end here. Because we have to get to the issue of affordability and we have to make sure that we’re not constantly having a conversation every few years as to whether this is the step that the government should take."

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (NM-03) said "This student loan relief is a good first step to easing the financial burden of hard working New Mexicans carrying high student loan debt. Education shouldn’t be a burden; no one should struggle with crushing debt to get a quality education. We need to make education accessible to everyone, everywhere."

Rep. Sean Casten (IL-06) said "That is, in essence what Biden's plan has done by providing relief to lower-income Americans, with even more to those who qualified for Pell grants. It's good human policy, and it's also good fiscal policy. And I get it. The @GOP has all been given their talking points, and they're going to keep repeating fiscal drivel. Polemicists gonna polem. But if you care about fiscal policy, you should be proud of what just happened."

Rep. Lauren Underwood (IL-14) said "Student borrowers will receive relief thanks to @POTUS’ decision to cancel up to $20,000 of federal student debt! Student debt is keeping too many Americans from thriving, and this announcement will bring financial security to tens of millions of Americans."

Rep. Jahana Hayes (CT-05) said "Thank you @POTUS for delivering student debt relief to Americans most in need. This will have a lasting impact on the residents of Connecticut. I will continue to work with the Administration to decrease the burden of student loan debt and make college more affordable."

Rep. Bill Foster (IL-11) said "Student debt is a serious economic burden for far too many Americans. I applaud the action taken by @POTUS today to provide much-needed breathing room for student loan borrowers."

Rep. David Trone (MD-06) said "Today, @POTUS announced new measures to ease student debt of borrowers making less than $125,000/year. Eligible borrowers will receive up to $20,000 in debt cancellation, & @usedgov will make paying off the remainder of loans more manageable."

Even Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX-28), who often comes down on the wrong side of issues said, "Today’s announcement...acknowledges that an education is as vital as our most basic necessities. And it puts hardworking South Texans first -- making sure that anyone making less than $125k finds fed debt relief.”

So, it doesn't look like Dems are that divided after all. What do you say we celebrate this big victory and go WIN SOME ELECTIONS.
