US Supreme Court blocks Biden student loan forgiveness

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Both Biden and his Republican predecessor Donald Trump relied upon the HEROES Act beginning in 2020 to repeatedly pause student loan payments and halt interest from accruing to alleviate financial strain on student loan borrowers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
55% : Biden plans to announce new actions on Friday to protect student loan borrowers in the wake of the ruling, a White House source said.
48% : The ruling came a day after the Supreme Court effectively prohibited affirmative action policies long used by U.S. colleges and universities to raise the number of Black, Hispanic and other underrepresented minority students.
27% : The U.S Supreme Court handed President Joe Biden a painful defeat on Friday, blocking his plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt -- a move that had been intended to benefit up to 43 million Americans and fulfill a campaign promise.
