Some federal borrowers will get up to $20,000 in student loan forgiveness.
She is looking for ways to block that relief.
Some Republicans want to overturn the debt cancellation.
If you have an idea on how to stop Biden's student loan forgiveness, send it to Virginia.
After President Joe Biden announced up to $20,000 in federal student-loan forgiveness at the end of August, many Republican lawmakers criticized it as costly, illegal, and unfair to those who already paid off their debts.
For months leading up to Biden's announcement, the Republican leader of the House education committee pushed back on debt relief, introducing legislation to prevent it from happening.
Some of her Republican colleagues are considering taking legal action against Biden.
"Republicans on the committee are doing everything we can to bring this to the attention of the American people, to have them understand why it's so wrong for the Biden administration to be paying off hundreds of thousands of dollars for people who are very wealthy," she said.
She hopes that there will be a way to stop it. We are open to suggestions for ways to stop it. We have no idea what's going to happen. We think there will be actions that will stop it. We are trying to find out what those will be.
Ted Cruz told The Washington Post that he was planning on blocking student-loan forgiveness in court. Conservative groups are looking for ways to challenge the loan forgiveness. The authority to waive or modify student loan balances under the HEROES Act of 2003 is maintained by the Biden administration.
The Democratic lawmaker called him a "miserable little weasel" after he made the comments. Student debt cancellation is legal and should not be in question.
The education department is moving forward with the relief process and will make applications to apply, but it will be difficult for those seeking to challenge the relief to prevail because they will have to prove concrete injury.
