The state of California added its own twist that year, banning most flavored tobacco products.
Higher monthly payments loom for many student loan borrowers
President-elect Donald Trump's victory should bring some clarity to Americans with student loans, but probably not in the way they'd hoped. A flurry of Biden administration initiatives and court rulings against them have left millions of borrowers uncertain about their future payments. Many federal student loans, in fact, are stuck in a period of limbo with no monthly payments because the company servicing them can't determine what the payments should be.

Higher monthly payments loom for many student loan borrowers
President-elect Donald Trump's victory last week should bring some clarity to Americans with student loans, but probably not in the way they'd hoped. A flurry of Biden administration initiatives and court rulings against them have left millions of borrowers uncertain about their future payments.

Election day is finally here, but don't expect to enjoy a sense of relief and finality anytime soon because it will likely take some time to get the final results of the local, state and national elections.
