Cory Booker has expressed support for making college more affordable and has co-sponsored legislation to make community college tuition-free, but he has not explicitly endorsed making all four-year public college tuition-free for everyone. In the 2020 Democratic primary, he supported debt-free college and expanding Pell Grants, but stopped short of backing universal free tuition at four-year institutions.

Many Democrats, especially progressives, strongly support free college tuition. Bernie Sanders, a prominent Democratic figure, has consistently advocated for free college tuition, and his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns brought the issue to the forefront of Democratic politics. However, not all Democrats fully agree, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Yes, but only for partial tuition

Partial tuition coverage is a compromise position that some Democrats may support. For example, Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign proposed free community college and debt-free public college, which would involve partial tuition coverage for some students. However, this answer does not go as far as some Democrats would like, which is why the score is not higher.

Agree

No, but provide more scholarship opportunities for low-income students

Many Democrats support increasing scholarship opportunities for low-income students as a way to make college more accessible. For example, President Obama introduced the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which provided tax credits for college expenses. However, this answer does not go as far as some Democrats would like, which is why the score is not higher.

Agree

No, but provide lower interest rates for student loans

Some Democrats support lowering interest rates on student loans as a way to reduce the burden of student debt. For example, Senator Elizabeth Warren has proposed legislation to lower student loan interest rates. However, this answer does not address the issue of college affordability as directly as some Democrats would prefer, which is why the score is not higher.

Strongly disagree

No

Most Democrats disagree with the idea of not providing any financial assistance for college tuition. They generally believe in increasing access to higher education and reducing the financial burden on students. However, some moderate Democrats may not support fully free tuition, which is why the score is not a full -5.
