The Biden administration approved a request of $60 million Thursday from Democratic Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s office to help with the tragic collapse of a Baltimore bridge earlier this week.
Moore announced online his administration requested the initial emergency fund relief following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge early morning Tuesday. The structure could be seen crumbling into the Patapsco River after a container ship, chartered by a Danish shipping company, lost power before hitting the bridge.
