The Spin

Democratic narrative

The fact that a federal search warrant has been signed off already indicates that the government has presented probable cause — or even evidence — that a crime took place in the lead-up to the bridge collapse. The Biden administration has pledged to hold accountable anyone responsible for this incident, and these moves go in the right direction.

Republican narrative

This criminal investigation into whether the crew left the Port of Baltimore knowing that the vessel had problems with its systems is certainly needed — especially as the Biden administration has pledged to use taxpayers' dollars to build a new bridge. If criminal negligence is found to be responsible for the crash, then Congress is less likely to support that move.
