House Republicans pass resolution overturning student loan cancellation; Biden vows to veto
The vote was 218-203, with two Democrats, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington state, supporting it.
If enacted, the measure would revoke Biden's cancellation plan and curtail the Education Department's ability to cancel student loans in the future. It would also rescind Biden's latest extension of a payment pause that began early in the pandemic.
The measure would retroactively add several months of student loan interest that was waived by Biden's extension, according to a letter from more than 260 organizations urging Congress to reject it.
Passing it "would immediately force tens of millions of borrowers into abrupt and unplanned repayment with devastating effects," the coalition said. The action would also end Public Service Loan Forgiveness, a student loan cancellation program for teachers, firefighters and other public workers, the letter said.

It adds to the GOP's ongoing attack on Biden's one-time student loan cancellation, which was halted in November in response to lawsuits from conservative opponents.
Really thought Biden would get us that $20k forgiveness
