Buttigieg: Bipartisanship needed in wake of collapsed bridge

The Biden administration is emphasizing bipartisanship in the wake of the collapsed bridge in Baltimore. Some Republicans in Congress are cool to the idea of the federal government paying for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, as proposed by President Biden. Asked about the possibility of GOP resistance, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said “today this is happening in Baltimore, tomorrow it could be  your district. And we really need to stand together — red, blue, and purple — to get these things done.” Officials in Washington and Maryland say it’s too soon to know the price tag of rebuilding the bridge.
