Supreme Court's Rulings on Student Loans Leave Biden's Plan in Limbo
President Biden has vowed to find an alternative path to provide relief for student loan borrowers after the Supreme Court struck down his student loan forgiveness plan. Biden plans to use a legal workaround and criticized Republicans who sued to block the original program. While details of the new plan are scarce, Biden announced that he would attempt to use the 1965 Higher Education Act to offer relief to borrowers. The ruling marks a significant blow to one of Biden's key initiatives, forcing him and his party to recalibrate their political messaging and search for alternative ways to reassure voters. Democrats are gearing up for a more direct battle against the Supreme Court, with some calling for measures such as expanding the court or imposing term limits on justices.
