U.S. President Joe Biden plans to announce on Wednesday that his administration has approved an additional $9 billion in student debt relief for 125,000 borrowers, the White House said.

Biden has said he will pursue new measures to provide student loan relief to Americans after the Supreme Court blocked his plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.

The president’s announcement, planned for 1 p.m. EDT at the White House, will bring the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden administration to $127 billion for nearly 3.6 million Americans, the White House said.

    You’re underestimating Congress. It still plays a lot of roles, especially the Senate. It just isn’t obvious because the president’s party typically has control at the beginning of their terms.

    This would probably work for Greens except that they don’t have people running for those positions.
