President Biden’s recent comments about commuting over the Francis Scott Key Bridge have raised eyebrows, as the bridge does not have any rail lines. During a press conference on the major bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland, Biden claimed to have traveled over the bridge “many, many times” by both car and train.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge, which opened in the early 1970s, has always been exclusively used as a roadway and has never had any railway lines. The 1.6-mile bridge crosses over the Patapsco River, where Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the words of the national anthem “The Star Spangled Banner.”
Despite the White House clarifying that Biden was referring to driving over the bridge, this incident adds to a series of recent gaffes made by the president. From mixing up the office he was running for to claiming to have spoken to deceased world leaders, Biden’s comments have sparked criticism and raised questions about his memory and attention to detail.
As the search and rescue efforts continue after the Baltimore bridge collapse, Biden’s remarks about his supposed train commute over the Francis Scott Key Bridge have become a topic of discussion. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
