GOP fights over Key Bridge repairs as House speaker remains silent

The catastrophic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge has dominated headlines for a week. Many prominent voices among the nation’s leadership have voiced their support for Maryland in the aftermath. President Joe Biden responded immediately with a press conference. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer offered “any help needed as Baltimore works to recover.” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed to “be there for the state of Maryland.” 

But from House Speaker Mike Johnson? Crickets. No tweets, no press releases, no statements.
