long-awaited plan to forgive some student loan debt. yesterday, he followed up on a campaign promise with a plan that could help more than 40 million americans burdened with federal student debt loans. while some would see the amount of money they owe lowered, others would see it eliminated altogether. but there are questions about whether mr. biden has the authority to do this. bradley blackburn has the details. good morning. >> anne-marie, good morning. this idea has been debated for years, now president biden says he is getting it done, promising up to $10,000 in debt relief for those who are eligible. as you might imagine, some are sharply questioning this plan, but this morning, plenty of parents are celebrating. kevin rice welcomed president biden's student loan debt forgiveness plan. even if it doesn't erase all the money owed for his daughter cameron's college degree. >> i was hoping that it would be more than $10,000, but, hey, i'll take what, you know, that they give us. >> all this means people can

start finally crawl out from under that mountain of debt. >> reporter: the president's announcement wednesday delivers on his campaign promise, by erasing $10,000 in federal student loan debt for those with annual incomes below $125,000, or couples earning less than $250,000. the plan would cancel an additional $10,000 for those who received pell grants. >> both of these targeted actions are for families who ned it the most. >> i racked up a lot of debt, and it would be a huge financial blessing to, like, get rid of at least -- even a little bit of that. >> my parents were able to get by working throughout college and pay for it themselves, but i can't do that on my own. >> republicans denounced the plan as an insult to those who repaid their debt. >> i think fundamentally when we borrow money, we ought to pay it back. >> some parents also expressed opposition. >> i just put two kids through college. i saved my whole life, looking for a government handout wasn't part of my family heritage and not part of what i think we should be doing in america today.

>> some question whether the president has the authority to forgive student debt, raising the prospect of legal challenges down the road. another aspect of the plan caps monthly payments for student loan debt to 5% of earnings and would forgive remaining debt after ten years. now, just how much all this could cost taxpayers is still unclear, but anne-marie, one estimate puts it at $300 billion or more. >> wow. bradley, thank you very much, bradley blackburn in new york. >> you bet. breaking overnight, a possible end to the teacher strike in columbus, ohio. the teachers union says it reached a tentative agreement with the school board early this morning after nearly 14 continuous hours of negotiations. teachers had pushed for better school conditions and smaller class sizes. if the deal is approved, in person classes will resume for students on monday. right now all classes are remote. the strike is impacting some 47,000 students. a federal judge in idaho is temporarily barring the state from enforcing a strict abortion
