"Republican Outrage Over Baltimore Bridge Collapse Funding"

Rep. Dan Meuser criticized President Biden's pledge to use federal funds to rebuild the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, calling it "outrageous" given the available excess funds for infrastructure projects. The bridge collapsed after a ship struck a pillar, causing six deaths and shutting down the Port of Baltimore. Biden vowed to cover the entire cost of rebuilding the bridge, while Meuser argued that Maryland already received substantial infrastructure funding and suggested exploring insurance coverage from the responsible parties.
