1:02:01Now Playing(Jan. 28) President Joe Biden was headed to Pittsburgh on Friday to promote the benefits of his infrastructure package — set to appear just two miles from the site of an early-morning bridge collapse that underscored his frequent calls to do more for the nation’s crumbling roads and bridges.
“The president is grateful to the first responders who rushed to assist the drivers who were on the bridge at the time,” the White House said in a statement. It added that the White House was in touch with officials on the ground about additional assistance we can provide.”
The dramatic event — which produced no fatalities, but prompted rescuers to form a human chain to help retrieve multiple people from a dangling bus — offers Biden a striking example of what he often says is the urgent need for investments in the country’s infrastructure. Friday’s trip is an opening step in a broader campaign to promote White House achievements in key states before the midterm elections.
The visit will take Biden, a Pennsylvania native, to a key battleground in this year’s midterm congressional elections. The battle to replace Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, who is not seeking reelection, is expected to be one of the most competitive Senate races this year.
