In the days and weeks before the midterm election, President Joe Biden trumpeted his plan to cancel billions in student loans as he rallied young people to support Democrats.

But now the entire initiative is in jeopardy because of legal challenges that could ensure no one receives a dollar of debt relief. The debacle is swiftly becoming a headache for the administration instead of an example of how the president keeps his promises to voters.The White House insists it will ultimately prevail even though two federal courts blocked the program from taking effect.

Supporters say borrowers should be angry not with Biden, but with the Republican-appointed judges who blocked his plan.Nearly 26 million people already have applied for the debt relief, out of an estimated 43 million eligible. The Education Department stopped accepting new applications Friday after a federal judge in Texas struck the plan down."We're fighting them in court," he said. We're not letting them get away with it.
