President Biden vowed Tuesday to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after it collapsed into the water when a cargo ship rammed into it, echoing what some Maryland officials said earlier but adding that he expects the federal government to foot the bill.
“It’s my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge, and I expect the Congress to support my effort,” Biden said in remarks at the White House. “This is going to take some time, but the people of Baltimore can count on us though to stick with them at every step of the way until the port is reopen and the bridge is rebuilt.”
He said he spoke with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) on Tuesday morning, as well as Maryland officials including its congressional delegation and two U.S. senators. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg traveled to the Baltimore site.

What is the alternative?
With Chinese steel and Chinese cement?
“Biden vows to reopen Baltimore port, rebuild collapsed Key Bridge”
By the word of his mouth?
Will reopen the port and rebuild....Well...duh...
Why not the ship owners pay?
“With Chinese steel and Chinese cement?”
an American Tofu Dregs build on the way.
Anyone else would have left it in a heaping mess?
“President Biden vowed Tuesday to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after it collapsed”

Mayor Pete says bridges were built low on purpose to keep black children from going to the beach.
...you know, the thing...
With illegal Mexican laborers.
It is symbolic of his Presidency
Yeah. It’ll be the Black Lives Matter Bridge.
He spends my money like he thinks it is all his!
Well, the bridge was white
The ship has proper insurance/registration etc because it was already in port. It was leaving when this happened.
Hell of a way to buy a bridge.
According to a new law passed and signed at 4:00 AM last night, the new bridge section will have to be a covered bridge with solar panels lining the roof and windmills on the towers. And the inside will feature murals of DEI Americans.
How long before they demand that the bridge be renamed? Did Francis Scott Key own slaves? He was a white male and the brother-in-law of Roger Taney, notorious for his opinion in the Dred Scott case.
Maybe they can find some noteworthy black American with a connection to Baltimore, like Frank Robinson.
