Biden's student loan repayment plan rulings

Two new rulings have frozen much of Biden's newest student loan repayment plan, setting up another possible student debt reckoning before the Supreme Court.

Federal Judges Block Biden Student Loan Repayment Plan

Federal judges in Kansas and Missouri blocked parts of a Biden administration student loan repayment plan, preventing the Department of Education from implementing certain aspects to help borrowers. Both judges appointed by former President Barack Obama ruled that Education Secretary Miguel Cardona exceeded Congress' authority. Republicans hailed the decisions as victories against shifting loan repayment costs to taxpayers.
