GOP Senate candidate pushes Republicans to rebuild Baltimore bridgeBALTIMORE, MD – Former two-term Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he’s urging fellow Republicans on Capitol Hill to support federal funding to rebuild the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge.”I’m going to push them as hard as I can. I’ve already called a couple of Republican Senate leaders and started working them,” Hogan, who’s running for a Democratic-controlled open Senate seat in his home state, emphasized in a Fox News Digital interview on Thursday.Six construction workers were presumed killed when the bridge collapsed on Tuesday moments after a large container ship slammed into a pillar. President Biden quickly pledged that the federal government would pay the “entire cost” to rebuild the near half-century old structure. Much of the funding will come from the Federal Highway Administration’s emergency fund, which needs to be replenished on an annual basis.POPULAR FORMER REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR LEADS DEMOCRATIC RIVALS IN…
