Sen. Amy Klobuchar may not support free college for all like some more left-leaning 2020 presidential contenders, but she does think certain one- and two-year community college programs could realistically be offered for free.
“When I look at the jobs that are available right now, out there, we have a lot of job openings in areas that could use a one-year degree, a two-year degree, and we’re just not filling those jobs,” said Klobuchar, who entered the crowded presidential field in mid-February. “Part of this would be an economic imperative, but the other part of it is, there are a lot of kids that just go off the grid, and a lot of kids that could work in rural jobs, and if we can get them started in that way, and they can later get another degree, they can later go on to complete the four-year degree,” Klobuchar said.
Klobuchar previously dismissed the idea of free college for all as a commendable but unrealistic proposal.
