The judge's ruling is the latest setback for Biden as he seeks to keep a key campaign promise.
that was the subject of Pittman's ruling was filed in October by Myra Brown and Alexander Taylor, two Texas residents who have student loan debt but are ineligible under the rules of Biden's relief program.
President Joe Biden speaks during an event hosted by the Democratic National Party at the Howard Theatre on November 10, 2022, in Washington, D.C. A federal judge in Texas dealt Biden's student loan forgiveness program a setback on Thursday., allows single borrowers who earn less than $125,000 to cancel $10,000 worth of loan debt, and married couples with a joint income of $250,000 to eliminate $20,000.
The lawsuit argues that millions of Americans are arbitrarily excluded by the program. Brown, who has $17,000 in debt, is ineligible because her debt is privately held, and Taylor does not qualify for the full amount of debt forgiveness because he did not receive a Pell Grant when he was in college, the lawsuit states.
