Biden says 'this fight is not over' after Supreme Court kills student debt relief plan

Biden had proposed a USD 400 billion plan to cancel or reduce federal student loan debts for millions of borrowers.

WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden said on Friday that "this fight is not over" after the Supreme Court killed his plan to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt.

He also blasted Republicans over the issue.

Biden said he would have more to say when he speaks to the nation on Friday afternoon.

He had proposed a USD 400 billion plan to cancel or reduce federal student loan debts for millions of borrowers.

The 6-3 decision, with conservative justices in the majority, said the Biden administration overstepped its authority with the plan, and it leaves borrowers on the hook for repayments that are expected to resume in the fall.
