Wes Moore on the Key Bridge Accident: Biden Has Been Involved with Us Every Step of the Way

‘I got my first phone call from the White House at 3:00 in the morning, on the day of that tragedy’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MOORE: "Thanks, rev. The first thing I can tell you this the president started where we all started, which is with the families. Understanding that they are families who are very much mourning and there is an entire state that is mourning right along with them. Yesterday, when the discovery of the body of maynard sandoval was discovered and the family was notified, knowing that the closure and also the comfort these families deserve, they are going to get and the president was with us lockstep. The other thing we know about the president was, he didn’t need to be fully briefed on everything going on because he has been involved with us every step of the way. I got my first phone call from the White House at 3:00 in the mourning, on the day of that tragedy, of the bridge collapsed. the White House has been with us every single step of the way, ever since. the White House, the Department of Transportation — and so, the president coming and getting boots on ground with what we are seeing and the level of tragedy and disaster that we have down here was important. But, the reality is, is that the White House has been with us every step of the way ever since the bridge first came down."
