President Biden does not have authority to implement his roughly $400 billion program to forgive student loan debt, the Supreme Court ruled Friday,issuing another blow to the administration’s bold claims of power in the final decision of the court’s term.
“I’m never going to stop fighting for you,” Biden said in remarks at the White House. “We’ll use every tool at our disposal to get you the student debt relief you need and reach your dreams. It’s good for the economy, it’s good for the country.”
