Georgia Senate Republican candidate Herschel Walker mocked President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive up to $20,000 of individual college loans, joking that a report students plan to use the savings on vacations, booze, and drugs sounds like a “Hunter Biden weekend.”
Campaigning in Madison, Georgia, Walker cited a Secrets report that students plan to use the money freed up in the forgiveness program for vacations, new cellular phones, booze, drugs, and restaurants.
