ET, overnight staffers in the White House Situation Room began frantically reaching out to senior officials to notify them of the collision – and collapse – of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Jen Daskal, the deputy homeland security adviser, began preparing a briefing for President Joe Biden.
Two Oval Office meetings were convened as staff at various levels began trickling into the White House.
Seven barges and nine tugboats have deployed to the area, according to Tom Perez, the White House director of intergovernmental affairs.
In another case – that of Moore and Perez – the two have already opposed each other on the ballot.
