President Joe Biden on Wednesday called for the education system to be expanded from 12 years to 14 years for all Americans to make the US more competitive on a global scale. McHenry County, where Biden made his remarks, went for the former president in the 2020 election. In addition to his call for more, free education, Biden also wants to extend his expansion of the child tax credit. 'We should have a minimum of 14 years of education,' the president said, 'without spending a cent.' Biden won Illinois in the 2020 presidential election but Donald Trump carried McHenry county, where Biden visited on Wednesday.
