Biden to travel to Baltimore on Friday to visit bridge collapse
by Alex Gangitano - 04/01/24 1:05 PM ET
President Biden will travel to Baltimore on Friday to visit the site of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, the White House announced Monday.
“We are with you Baltimore, and we will be there to get this done,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said when making the announcement.
Biden himself had vowed to visit Baltimore, saying on Friday he would visit alongside Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D). Hours after the collapse early Tuesday morning, Biden said he planned to go to the site “as quickly as” he can.
Jean-Pierre said Biden is continuing to lead a “whole of government” approach to respond to the collapse, which killed six people and has temporality closed one of the country’s busiest ports. She said Biden has been working with Moore to get the port reopened and the bridge rebuilt.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge, on Interstate 695, collapsed into the water after it was hit around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday by cargo ship Dali, which was headed to Sri Lanka.

That's only about a year quicker than his visit to East Palestine. Granted, the two incidents are not the same, but still ...

This friday? It is on the way to his Delaware hideout. Stopping in Baltimore might screw up nap time though.

I hope he takes a long walk off a short bridge.
