Kansas and Missouri have joined four other Republican-leaning states in a lawsuit aimed at blocking the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness plan. 

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, both Republicans running for higher office, signed onto a suit filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri alleging that the states’ loan servicer faces financial harm because of the loan forgiveness plan. 

The plan, which Democratic President Joe Biden announced last month, will cancel at least $10,000 in debt for those making less than $125,000 or households making less than $250,000. The program would have provided relief to approximately 777,300 Missourians and more than 360,900 Kansans.

The lawsuit asks a federal judge to prevent the Biden administration from forgiving the student debt, arguing that cancellation is the responsibility of Congress and not the president.
