Infrastructure
Two workers were rescued and more may still need to be evacuated from Pelican Island. For now, bridge access to and from the island is shut down.
The Missouri senator's complaint about infrastructure was interesting, given his voting record.
Congressional Republicans have indicated they might throw a wrench into the president's plan to reopen the bridge with federal funds.
Congress has done it before following a similar disaster, but a decline in bipartisanship since then makes it a more challenging ask.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
“This is an unthinkable tragedy,” Mayor Brandon Scott said.
Rep. Pete Stauber (R-Minn.) said he did not vote for the infrastructure bill because he feared it would inevitably lead to socialism.
The GOP candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania blamed the bill and other spending for inflation.
Biden repeatedly referred to Trump as "the last guy" as he compared his current administration to the Trump White House.
The far-right lawmaker's latest complaint backfired on social media.
“See you at the groundbreaking,” the president tweeted at Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who celebrated getting money from the bipartisan infrastructure law.
