WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump in a series of tweets has again taken aim at Baltimore.

Trump on Sunday called the city “the WORST IN NATION” and “last in everything.” He also urged voters to elect a Maryland Republican congressional candidate for the seat formerly held by the late U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings.

Trump says he would “help” Baltimore if Kimberly Klacik wins the race for Maryland’s 7th Congressional District.

Klacik gained attention last year after her social media posts showing trash in Baltimore prompted Trump to tweet that the district is a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.” She spoke during the Republican National Convention last month.

The Maryland Transportation Authority this week began the formal process of finding a contractor for the next phase of the Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement, after parting ways with the phase one contractor over costs this spring. The authority Tuesday issued a request for qualifications, or RFQ, from prospective contractors on the major part of the replacement project: construction of the main span bridge and of marine approaches of the bridge, which will straddle the shipping channel into the Port of Baltimore.
