Republican rising star Katie Britt to deliver the GOP response to Biden's State of the Union address next week in her first national introduction to Americans

Freshman Alabama Sen. Katie Britt has been chosen by Republicans to deliver the rebuttal to President Biden's State of the Union address next week. 

The GOP's rising star won her Senate seat in 2022 after serving as a long-time staffer of outgoing Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby. 

Britt is the first woman to hold an Alabama Senate seat and at 42, the youngest Republican woman to be elected to the Senate. 

Trump had endorsed Britt in her 2022 primary after flipping on former Rep. Mo Brooks, who he'd first endorsed.

The president will address a joint session of Congress before her rebuttal to tout his accomplishments and lay out his goals ahead of an expected rematch with former President Donald Trump in November. 

Speaker Mike Johnson noted Britt is the 'only current Republican mom of school-aged kids serving in the Senate.' 

Britt is married to former NFL player Wesley Britt and they have two children together. 

'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,' Johnson said of the Alabama senator. 

Britt said in a statement of her address: 'We'll have a candid conversation about the future of our nation—and I'll outline the Republican vision to secure the American Dream for generations to come.'

In 2023 Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders delivered the rebuttal and the year before that Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds did the same. In 2021, it was South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott and in 2020 Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer rebutted  Trump's remarks. 

McConnell said in a statement on Britt's address: 'For three years, President Biden has tried to convince the American people to accept historic inflation, rampant crime, retreat on the world stage, and functionally open borders as the new normal.'

'Next week, working families will hear a very different perspective. Senator Katie Britt is an unapologetic optimist, and as one of our nation's youngest Senators, she's wasted no time becoming a leading voice in the fight to secure a stronger American future and leave years of Washington Democrats' failures behind.'
