Alabama Sen. Katie Britt to deliver Republican response to President Biden’s State of the Union address

Alabama Sen. Katie Britt has been chosen to deliver the Republican Party’s response to President Biden’s State of the Union address.

The announcement was made today by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky).

The president is scheduled to deliver his annual address on Thursday, March 7, with Britt speaking afterward.

“Sen. Katie Britt will share her incredible story as the first woman elected to the United States Senate from the state of Alabama. As the only current Republican mom of school-aged kids serving in the Senate, Katie is fighting to preserve the American Dream for the next generation. She is a champion for strong families, a secure border, national defense and a vibrant economy with stable prices and opportunities for all. The American people will tune in as the youngest Republican woman ever elected to the Senate turns the page on the oldest President in history,” House Speaker Johnson said in a statement.

“I am truly honored and grateful for the opportunity to speak directly to my fellow Americans and have a candid conversation about the future of our nation. The Republican Party is the party of hardworking parents and families, and I’m looking forward to putting this critical perspective front and center,” Britt said.
