President Joe Biden addressed the Tuesday morning collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore from the White House. The remarks were made ahead of a trip to North Carolina that Biden is taking with Vice President Kamala Harris. The White House had earlier tweeted a picture of Biden being briefed on the collapse in the Oval Office with senior White House advisers. The president is expected to continue receiving updates about the collapse and search-and-rescue efforts throughout the day, according to the White House.
