House votes to repeal Biden’s student debt relief plan

and keep student debt relief as one of the items on the table in the talks, even though White House officials have said repealing the president’s policy accomplishments are a non-starter.Republicans on Wednesday railed against Biden’s relief plan, criticizing it as too expensive and unfair to people who didn’t take out student loans.

“If we legislated using the logic that you bring to this issue here today, women and Black folks wouldn’t have the right to vote because it would be unfair to those who never got to vote before them,” Frost said. Democrats defended Biden’s plan, pointing to Education Department estimates that most borrowers who would receive relief come from families earning below $75,000. The income caps on the program are $125,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples., who was a key lawmaker pressuring Biden into canceling student debt and blasted the Republican effort to undo “gut essential relief” from borrowers.

Two House Dems joined Republicans in voting to block Biden's student debt relief program: Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez of Washington. The measure now faces an uncertain path in the Senate.
