Elizabeth Warren whether Biden's plan is fair for those Americans who have already worked to pay off their debt. Next, Dana goes one-on-one with Ohio Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Tim Ryan, who says his party needs a renewed "laser-like focus on the economic well-being of the average person." Then, Republican Gov.
