Who is Katie Britt, the Republican who gave State of the Union rebuttal?
Fri Mar 08, 2024 9:39 am
Alabama's Katie Britt, the youngest woman representing the Republicans in the US Senate, has given her party's response to President Joe Biden's third State of the Union address.
Sitting at her kitchen table, she accused the president of being สล็อตออนไลน์ufabet out of touch and painted a dark picture of the US under his watch.
"Right now, the American Dream has turned into a nightmare for so many families," she said.
The rebuttal - first delivered in 1966 - is often given by rising stars in the opposition party.
Ms Britt, 42, echoed popular Republican attack lines in her 17-minute speech, hitting Mr Biden hard on the border crisis and inflation.
Reactions to her performance were mixed. Conservative media outlet Fox News reviewed the speech as a successful effort which "pulled-no-punches" when "shredding" the president's national address.
But some criticism focussed on her performative delivery. Others took issue with the unconventional setting - her kitchen table in Montgomery - for a speech meant to counter presidential remarks delivered from the Capitol.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump White House communications adviser, posted on X: "I do not understand the decision to put her in a KITCHEN for one of the most important speeches she's ever given."
Ahead of the speech, some political commentators had suggested Ms Britt was an astute choice to deliver the Republican response.
She has avoided isolationist tendencies in her party and emerged as a hawkish figure on national security. And her speech largely avoided the kind of combative politics championed by some in the party.
