The American people do not support Betsy DeVos. We don't support her radical attempts to privatize education. We don't support her corrupt efforts to take coronavirus relief away from public schools so that it can be sent to private ones. We don't support her hateful, transphobic agenda or her attacks on survivors of sexual assault. And we do not support her putting predatory, for-profit colleges over those they cheated with a rule that would force the most vulnerable students who were robbed to repay 97 percent of what they borrowed. That is why Congress passed H.J. Res. 76, with bipartisan support. But just as Vice President Pence had to save Betsy DeVos' Senate confirmation, President Trump is trying to save her dangerous rule against our bipartisan bill. So I urge my colleagues to override this veto, and, once again, let's make clear that the people's House stands on the side of the people and not Betsy DeVos.
