Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn, is the lone Senate Democrat in the race who has not endorsed either the Schatz or Sanders proposals to make college debt-free or tuition-free.

Nearly all Senate Democrats running for president in 2020 have embraced a massive overhaul of how students pay for college.

Only one senator in the race has not endorsed either the Schatz or Sanders proposals: Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. It fits with the Midwestern Democrat's strategy of casting herself as a more middle-of-the-road alternative to her colleagues. The Schatz plan, first proposed last year, would allow participating states to receive federal money matching the amount they give to state colleges. To get those funds, they would have to commit to helping students cover the full cost of attendance — not just tuition — without taking on debt.

The U.S. student debt burden topped $1.5 trillion by the fourth quarter of last year, according to the Federal Reserve. Research has found the mountain of debt has affected other parts of the economy, including home ownership.
