Elizabeth Warren’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination may be lagging in the polls, but she might have hit on a new strategy to change that. In the past few weeks she’s been releasing ambitious and detailed policy proposals. Leaning on her much-admired technical proficiency, she’s moving at a quick clip, and her opponents are struggling to keep up.

The most recent of these is her plan to dramatically reduce the student debt load. The proposal has the potential to capture the imagination and win the support of the more than forty million Americans currently burdened by student loans.

Bernie Sanders has also expressed support for student debt cancellation on the campaign trail, authoring plans for tuition-free college that Warren incorporates into her proposal. The cost of higher education promised to be his issue — with this plan, it may emerge as hers.
