48% : It launched months after the justices divided along ideological lines to invalidate a separate, $400 billion Biden administration program to forgive student loan debt.More than 8 million people are enrolled in the new program, with debts already cleared for more than 400,000 borrowers.
43% : "There was no basis to lift the injunction because the Department of Education's newest loan-cancellation program is just as unlawful as the one the Court struck down a year ago," he said in a statement.LOAN FORGIVENESS PLANSBiden's pandemic-era loan forgiveness plan was based on the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act of 2003, which allows the education secretary to waive or modify loan provisions in response to a national emergency.
36% : If the appeals court rules quickly, the case could then be appealed to the Supreme Court this fall, putting the issue of student loan debt back before the justices amid a competitive presidential campaign between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump.
