#shorts On 3/1/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “Let me follow up on a separate question that was asked by one of my colleagues in the room about the student loans and the wait for the decision from the Supreme Court as it relates to this. I know that you said earlier that there is no other plan. The plan right now is the one that’s being presented before the Supreme Court and you feel strongly in your case. Obviously, those who have loans that they would owe, in case this is rejected, don’t have that same ability. They have to have a backup plan in case. I know that two months would pass before they would have to pay those loans again, in case the Supreme Court rejects this here. But what do you say to those Americans who have tens of thousands of dollars that they might be responsible for two months after the Court makes its decision, if they choose reject it? How should they be preparing right now for that? And what would you do to protect them?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: And I’ll just add that, yesterday, right in front of the Supreme Court, you saw many of those Americans speaking out loud —
Reporter: We did.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: — and clear, and saying how important the President’s plan is to them. Because they’re being crushed, right?
Reporter: But what’s the — what should be —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No —
Reporter: — the plan B?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well —
Reporter: Because everybody who has their own budget at home has to have a plan B.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I totally — I — I hear you, Peter. And you asked me what the message was to the American people. You heard — I just laid out … look, we do not — we do not — again, we do not have another plan.
