"Maryland Governor Urges Congress for Funding After Baltimore Bridge Collapse"
Maryland Governor Wes Moore urges bipartisan cooperation in Congress to approve federal funding for rebuilding the collapsed bridge in Baltimore's harbor, which has left the Port of Baltimore closed and 15,000 jobs in limbo. The Biden administration has released initial emergency aid, but the final cost of rebuilding could reach $2 billion. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is optimistic about Congress approving the necessary funds, and President Biden is expected to visit the site. Cleanup efforts are underway, but the reopening of the port and the rebuilding of the bridge have no estimated timeline.
