The United States Supreme Court has struck down President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness programme. The apex Court in its ruling on Friday, held that Biden's administration didn’t have the authority to cancel up to $20,000 per federal loan borrower. This means that millions of federal borrowers are now set to resume student-loan payments in October — with interest beginning to accrue again in September — without a reduction to their balances, according to CBS News.

The ruling the paper reports is a blow to as many as 43 million people with federally-held student loans who would have seen relief under the plan, including 20 million whose balances would have been wiped out completely. The ruling thwarts—at least for now—a progressive push for student loan forgiveness.
