U.S. District Judge Randal Hall, who was appointed by former Republican President George W. Bush, said that Biden’s plan would remain blocked for an additional 14 days.
The ruling came as the Biden administration was expected to publish its final rule on a revised student loan forgiveness plan in October. The plan could impact more than 25 million borrowers.
Hall’s decision is in response to a lawsuit brought by seven GOP-led states claiming that the U.S. Department of Education’s debt cancellation relief is illegal, CNBC reported.
