Biden launches application for student-loan forgiveness, says lawsuits won’t stop program

biden launches application for student loan forgiveness says lawsuits wont stop program

President Joe Biden on Monday said legal challenges to his plan to cancel debt for a wide swath of student borrowers will not succeed, as he announced the formal launch of the loan-forgiveness application. Asked during a White House event if he was worried lawsuits would halt the relief program, Biden replied: “our legal judgment is that it won’t.” Last month, six Republican-led states filed a lawsuit in federal court asking for the plan to be blocked. Biden said the beta version of the site processed 8 million applications over the weekend without glitches.
