episode 1925: Student Debt Relief Legal Challenge, House Hearing On China, Mexico Election Reform
The Supreme Court will hear a challenge to President Biden's student loan forgiveness program. Several Republican-led states are asking the court to permanently block the program. But do the states have the right to sue? A House panel holds a hearing on the competition between the U.S. and China. It's one of very few issues that's getting broad bipartisan attention. And more than a hundred thousand people in Mexico City protested the overhaul of the country's independent electoral institute. They say the reforms are a threat to democracy.
