Joe Biden, president, is working to serve his campaign promise to eliminate student debt in his final months in office.
After an appeals court partially enjoined its use next year despite a ruling against him over a similar program last month, Biden is asking the Supreme Court to remove a block from its Saving on a Valuable Education program. The White House says it’s on solid legal footing.
In response to a problem from the Washington Examiner, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday,” We believe in the legal validity of those guidelines.” ” We’re always assured on that earth”.
Republicans claim that by attempting to cancel student loans on his own, Biden is usurping both the higher court and Congress. Jean-Pierre claimed that the chairman thinks and has already cancelled$ 168 billion in loans despite setbacks in court. Biden’s plans may charge citizens hundreds of billions more if they were fully implemented.
He says,” He wants to make sure that we give Americans the opportunity to start their people, best?” To buy a home”, Jean-Pierre said. Republicans “got in the way,” we put forward a powerful program. They halted it. They continue to obstruct it.
Biden promised in 2020 to” cancel” at least$ 10, 000 of student loan debt per borrower and tried to do just that after being elected. The Supreme Court ruled in June 2023 that such a program was  , illegal, but Biden has pressed forward with similar strategies anyway, saying,” The Supreme Court blocked it. They halted it. But that did n’t stop me”.

” Wednesday, you’re going to learn from the president and the vice president as they continue their work to make sure that we are lowering costs for Americans”, she told the , Washington Examiner. You’ll learn more about how that will appear and what the news will be in a few hours. But it is our devotion, the leader and the vice president’s determination to do just that”.
