Biden pushes education spending at stops in Virginia

The Associated Pressand the first lady traveled Monday to coastal Virginia to promote his plans to increase spending on education and children, part of his $1.8 trillion families proposal announced last week.

Biden and his wife, Jill, visited Tidewater Community College. The president has proposed $109 billion be spent to provide Americans with two years of tuition-free community college. He's also seeking $62 billion for programs that could improve completion rates at community colleges and institutions that predominantly serve disadvantaged students.

The president then continued: “I tell you what, you guys are really impressive," and joked with the kids —"This is 9th grade, right?”
