It's very doubtful that very many still owe on their own college loans after 40 years (although it took me 20 years to pay off the last of them). This statement isn't false, although I trust very little that comes from the tweet of BJG.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
