Biden will talk about student debt relief before a private campaign reception in Chicago

President Joe Biden is traveling to the Midwest to announce details of a new plan to ease student loan debt for millions, a trip that comes a week after primary voting highlighted weaknesses for the Democratic president and Donald Trump, his Republican challenger.Biden was making the announcement Monday in Madison, Wisconsin, the state's liberal capital and home of the University of Wisconsin's flagship campus.

In Wisconsin's primary elections on April 2, nearly 119,000 Republicans voted for a GOP candidate other than Trump, the party's presumptive nominee. And more than 48,000 Democratic voters chose "uninstructed" instead of Biden, more than double Biden's narrow margin of victory in Wisconsin in 2020. The details of his arrival to Chicago have not been released, however he will be in the city for a private campaign reception.Biden's new plan would expand federal student loan relief to new yet-targeted categories of borrowers through the Higher Education Act, which administration officials believe puts it on a stronger legal footing than the sweeping proposal that was killed by a 6-3 court majority last year.

Details released by the White House on Monday largely mirror a plan drafted by the Education Department over the past several months through a federal rulemaking process. It lays out five categories of borrowers who would be eligible to get at least some of their federal student loans canceled if the rule is approved.
