Another appeals court rejected President Biden’s bid to reinstate his student debt plan on Wednesday, marking the latest legal setback in the administration’s effort to forgive up to $20,000 in debt.
At the 5th Circuit Court, the U.S. Education Department had requested a reversal in one of several parallel lawsuits seeking to block the president’s plan, in this instance a case out of Texas. The Biden administration has said ultimately they’ll ask the Supreme Court to weigh in on the legality of the plan.
