Kan. AG vows to sue Biden over new student loan relief plan [View all]

TOPEKA — President Joe Biden on Monday announced new steps to help more than 30 million people from student loan debt.

On social media, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach criticized the plan and posted a recent interview he did to explain why he's against Biden's effort.

Young voters have been impatient for Biden to follow through on his campaign promise to slash debt after the U.S. Supreme Court foiled his initial plan last year. The new plan is smaller and would expand federal student loan relief to new categories of borrowers.

Biden said he wanted to “give everybody a fair shot” and the “freedom to chase their dreams” as he lamented the rising cost of higher education.
