WATCH: PBS NewsHour’s John Yang on the latest Supreme Court decisions

The PBS NewsHour’s John Yang took viewer questions about the rulings and what happens next.

On Friday, a sharply divided court effectively killed President Joe Biden’s $400 billion plan to cancel or reduce federal student loan debts for millions of Americans.

The 6-3 decision, with conservative justices in the majority, said the Biden administration overstepped its authority with the plan, and it leaves borrowers on the hook for repayments that are expected to resume in the fall.

Biden was to announce a new set of actions to protect student loan borrowers later Friday, said a White House official. The official was not authorized to speak publicly ahead of Biden’s expected statement on the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Other decisions this week included:

• Striking down race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina
• Saying a Christian graphic artist had the right to refuse to work with same-sex couples.
• Rejecting a legal theory that state legislatures have almost unlimited power to decide the rules for federal elections
