Vice President Joe Biden will be speaking at Florida State University in Tallahassee on Monday on college costs -- and the Republicans are already taking aim at him.

“Vice President Biden’s taxpayer-funded campaign stop on Monday won’t change the fact that President Obama has failed to make college more affordable for Florida’s students for the past three years of his administration,” said Matt Connelly, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, in a statement on Friday. “College costs are at an all-time high and the average Florida student now graduates college with $21,184 in student loan debt. President Obama ran on ‘change’ in 2008 and it’s clear that Florida’s students have experienced nothing but change for the worse as a result of his failed policies.”
