Mike Pence made a surprise visit to Ukraine last week to signal his commitment to a more traditional foreign policy, and voiced his support for the Supreme Court's ruling in the 303 Creative v. Elenis case, which protects a designer from creating speech that she does not believe. His visit and support of the ruling are seen as important markers for his potential 2024 presidential campaign, and draw a sharp contrast between him and former President Donald Trump's more isolationist direction.

The Supreme Court has blocked President Joe Biden's plan to provide student loan debt relief to more than 40 million borrowers, prompting the president to announce a new 12-month "onramp repayment program" and explore other options for relief. Democrats are vowing to continue to fight for student loan debt relief, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) promising, "We will not give up on this fight."
President Joe Biden has announced a new pathway to student loan debt forgiveness following the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to strike down his original plan. The new plan will allow Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to "compromise, waive or release loans under certain circumstances," and Biden is urging Congress to pass legislation that would make two years of community college free for all Americans. He also vowed to continue pursuing debt forgiveness through a new path that is "legally sound" and will be grounded in the Higher Education Act.
The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Joe Biden's student loan debt forgiveness plan is unconstitutional, with Chief Justice John Roberts employing a "major questions" argument to nix usual court deference to executive branch agency. This means that the 26 million Americans who signed up for the debt forgiveness program will no longer have their debt partially or fully wiped away. The ruling has been met with criticism from both sides of the aisle and it remains to be seen how the Biden administration will respond to the ruling.
The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 against President Joe Biden's student loan debt relief plan, denying relief to 40 million Americans who stood to have up to $20,000 in student debt wiped away. The ruling invalidates the president's plan to forgive nearly half-a-trillion dollars in student loan debt, and is a major setback for Biden's promise to provide relief to millions of Americans struggling with student loan debt. The decision means that millions of Americans will continue to be burdened with student loan debt.

He has also called for Congress to pass legislation to protect such programs, and has stated that expanding the court would be a mistake as it would politicize it.

The Supreme Court's decision to reject affirmative action in higher education has been met with sharp criticism from two of the court's liberal justices and civil rights groups. The ruling is likely to reshape how higher education institutions consider applicants, as they can no longer use race as a factor in admissions. NAACP President Derrick Johnson argued that the decision will make it more difficult for students of color to access higher education, and called on Congress to pass legislation to protect affirmative action in higher education.
