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.

    Not if it’s all bullshit.

      If it’s so plainly bullshit, you should have no trouble refuting it. Just asserting “it’s bullshit” doesn’t leave the readers any smarter.

        anyone who actually evaluates the links provided by both parties should be able to come to the same conclusion. they don’t need to refute it: their position hasn’t been undermined by the bullshit.

        I blocked them, I can’t even see their comments anymore. Do your own homework 👍.

          So, instead of actually debating in the open, with someone that’s surprisingly showing you a tremendous amount of patience and respect- you block them for providing evidence that supports their point?

          This is VERY telling.
