President Biden pledges federal government to fund the entire cost of rebuilding the Baltimore bridge that collapsed due to a cargo ship collision, calling on Congress to authorize the effort promptly.
Some Republicans oppose Biden's promise to cover the full bridge cost with federal funds, insisting on spending cuts to offset any funding. Rep. Dan Meuser criticizes the immediate federal funding proposal as a 'knee-jerk spend reaction.'
Federal officials project over $2 billion in costs to reopen the port, impacting thousands of jobs. Biden's administration provided $60 million in emergency funds, emphasizing infrastructure importance in his presidency.
