''(Reuters) -A federal appeals court on Thursday blocked President Joe Biden's administration from continuing to implement a new student debt relief plan designed to lower monthly payments for millions of Americans.''

The St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request by seven Republican-led states to put on hold parts of the U.S. Department of Education's debt relief plan that had not already been blocked by a lower-court judge.

That ruling last month by U.S. District Judge John Ross in St. Louis had blocked the department from granting further loan forgiveness under the administration's Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan but had not blocked all of the plan.

That plan provides more generous terms than past income-based repayment plans, lowering monthly payments for eligible borrowers and allowing those whose original principal balances were $12,000 or less to have their debt forgiven after 10 years.

State attorneys general led by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey subsequently last week asked the 8th Circuit to block the rest of the SAVE Plan. The court did so through a one-page order granting an administrative stay.

Bailey on the social platform X hailed the ruling as a "huge win for every American who still believes in paying their own way." He said the student loan plan "would have saddled working Americans with half-a-trillion dollars in Ivy League debt."

''The Education Department had no immediate comment.''

Biden, a Democrat, announced the SAVE Plan in 2022, alongside a broader $430 billion program that would have fulfilled a campaign promise by cancelling up to $20,000 in debt for up to 43 million Americans. It was ultimately blocked by the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court in June 2023.

The SAVE Plan was slated to fully take effect on July 1, though parts of it have already been implemented.

The White House has said that over 20 million borrowers could benefit from the SAVE Plan. The administration in May said that 8 million are already enrolled, including 4.6 million whose monthly payments have been reduced to $0.

The Education Department on Thursday said it had already granted $5.5 billion to 414,000 borrowers through the SAVE Plan.

Another federal judge in Kansas had also blocked parts of the SAVE Plan last month, though a different federal appeals court, the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, put part of that decision on hold. A group of Republican-led states have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate that injunction.

Nolte: ‘The Black Man’ — Looks Like Joe Biden Forgot Lloyd Austin’s Name During BET Interview

During a high-stakes interview on Black Entertainment Television (BET), His Fraudulency Joe Biden referred to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin as ”the black man” after seeming to forget his name.

On top of that, you can hear Biden slurring his words. He’s all over the place. Totally scattered.

BIDEN: And so, it’s all about—it’s all about treating people with dignity. And it’s about making sure that we’re coming—for example, look at the heat I’m getting because I named, a, uh, the, uh, secretary of defense, a black man—I named Ketanji Brown, I mean, because of the people I’ve named. It’s about making clear that American history is black history.

The only thing saving Joe Biden right now is the fury of news coverage around former President Trump. This was supposed to be Biden’s comeback week. He’s already done two high-profile interviews, hoping to reassure donors, the corporate media, and Democrat lawmakers he’s up to the task of defeating Trump in November. Remember, that’s all this is about—beating Trump. The organized left’s freak-out over Biden’s mental decline has nothing to do with Biden’s mental decline, which has been obvious for years. If Biden were five points up over Trump, he could be in a coma or dead, and we’d still be told he’s “sharp as a tack.”
