The US Supreme Court refused for now to reinstate President Joe Biden’s latest push to reduce student-loan bills for millions of people, keeping the multibillion-dollar plan on hold while a fresh legal fight over educational debt plays out.

The court turned away an administration request to lift a pause a federal appeals court imposed on the program in a lawsuit by Missouri and other Republican-led states. The order didn’t indicate that any justices dissented.
