enrolled in the safe plan and making less than $120,000 a year try to buy votes. president biden made the announcement monday in the swing state of wisconsin. >> where republicans like congressman bryan steil and derrick van orden say the plan is not fair to millions of other americans expecting our hard working blue collar men and women. we decide to go to trade school. >> to pay off the bill of people that have just started to get a 4 year degree. the white house says millions of americans could start to see the amount of drop as early as this fall. we are working hard to make sure that we follow the law but still expects another legal battle at the supreme court. i think the courts will once again find this action to be unconstitutional. rightfully so. the education department will release a final plan in the coming months that the public will be able to weigh in on. >> in washington, i'm jessi tenure.

black students. 32% of latino students and 35% of low-income children reading at grade level. so they want to get those numbers up. but the assembly education committee is going to be meeting and talking about this bill later this month. a very important issue for teachers and students will be following this story as well. all right, 10, 26 coming up. california leaders are fighting to eliminate. >> hate inside public schools across the state will tell you across the state will tell you how they plan on doing that. there's nothing better than a subway series footlong. except when you add an all new footlong sidekick. like the philly with a new $2 footlong churro. sometimes the sidekick is the main event. you would say that. every epic footlong
