Three House Democrats at risk of losing their re-election bids previously supported a student loan debt cancellation plan despite their opposition to President Biden's recently announced handouts.

The members who appeared to change their stance over the handouts include Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash.; Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J.; and Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., who are each facing tough re-election bids in this year's midterm elections.

"I agree that something needs to be done to make college a more affordable option for students and make sure they aren’t burdened by debt for decades. However, this is not how I would have done it," Schrier told Fox News Digital on Thursday when asked whether she supported Biden's handouts.
