President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit Baltimore on Friday to personally witness the federal response efforts and assess the damage caused by the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. A White House official confirmed that President Biden will receive an aerial tour of the affected area.
The official statement released on Thursday night outlined President Biden's agenda for the visit. He will be briefed by the Unified Command, which includes the Coast Guard and Army Corps of Engineers, on their efforts to assist state officials in surveying and removing the wreckage from the channel. The primary goal is to expedite the reopening of the Port of Baltimore.
