Vice President Joe Biden will be in Chicago on June 21 to headline a fundraiser for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias. Biden is also scheduled to attend an event for 10th district candidate Dan Seals on the same day.

UPDATE (12:22 p.m.): Here's a statement from the campaign:

"We are looking forward to Vice President Biden's trip to Illinois and are grateful to have his support. There is so much at stake in this election and voters are seeing more and more every day that the choice between Congressman Mark Kirk and Alexi Giannoulias is one between a failed past and a promising future," said Alexi for Illinois campaign manager Michael Rendina.
