After the Francis Scott Key Bridge’s collapse, authorities now aim to recover remains of missing people presumed dead. NTSB investigators boarded the ship overnight.
Two days after the Baltimore bridge collapse, it remains to be seen how willing Congress is to oblige President Biden’s call for the federal government to fully fund the repair. But at least one Republican in the closely divided House is speaking out against the request. Rep. Dan Meuser told Fox Business on Thursday it was “kind of outrageous immediately for Biden to express on this tragedy the idea that he’s going to use federal funds to pay for it in entirety.
Biden, who is running for reelection this year, said Tuesday that he wants the federal government to “pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge,” though the White House has mostly declined to provide details since then. Emergency funding for such disasters usually unifies both parties, but House Republicans can spare few defections as their already thin majority dwindles.
