Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said the federal government will cover the “lion’s share” of costs to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, after some dissent from House Republicans.

McConnell, speaking on Terry Meiners’s show on Louisville, Kentucky, radio station WHAS on Monday, discussed the importance of government spending on foreign affairs, such as the war in Ukraine, but also said that repairing the Francis Scott Key Bridge is a responsibility of the federal government.
