12:30 ET 16:30 GMT - Biden To Deliver Remarks On Baltimore Bridge Collapse

US

President Biden will deliver remarks from the White House on the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, Maryland at 12:30 ET 16:30 GMT. Livestream here.

  • Biden may use the remarks to highlight the need for more federal spending on national infrastructure as he did in Pittsburgh in June 2022 when he spoke shortly after the Interstate 95 bridge in Philadelphia collapsed.
  • Biden's drive to renew infrastructure via the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act is one of the flagship policies that will underpin Biden's 2024 re-election campaign and one that has been a central focus of Biden's recent swing state tour.
  • The New York Times notes: "...the president, who counts a major infrastructure law as part of his first-term accomplishments, will have another challenge to demonstrate what a competent government response looks like."
