“President Joe Biden’s plans to deliver widespread student debt relief were dealt a serious blow last year when the Supreme Court struck down his one-time student loan forgiveness program. But he has still managed to cancel more federal student loan debt than any other president,” CNN reports.
“Since taking office, Biden’s administration has approved the cancellation of about $138 billion in federal student loans – wiping out debts for about 3.9 million borrowers – by using a number of existing programs that aim to offer debt relief for certain groups of struggling borrowers.”
“The amount Biden has canceled is equal to nearly 9% of the $1.6 trillion of federal student loan debt currently held by borrowers.”
