Alabama Senator Katie Britt, a first-term Republican, responded to President Biden’s State of the Union address, criticizing his handling of various issues. She expressed concern about the border, cities, the economy, and foreign relations.
Britt, in a Southern manner, questioned Biden’s leadership, especially on immigration and the economy. She mentioned the challenges families face despite the President’s positive economic outlook, stating, “Bidenomics is working, y’all. Bless his heart. We know better.”
Seated at a kitchen table, Britt emphasized her role as a wife and mother, framing her criticism as worry for her children’s future. She claimed that Biden has overseen a decline in the American dream and called for better opportunities for the next generation.
The Senator highlighted immigration issues, blaming Biden for a surge at the U.S.-Mexico border and criticizing his executive orders. She mentioned a tragic incident involving a nursing student in Georgia, urging Biden to take responsibility.
On foreign policy, Britt accused Biden of squandering U.S. advantages with a chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal and negotiations with Iran. She depicted an unsafe world stage, citing U.S. casualties in the Middle East and the invasion of Ukraine by Russian President Putin.
Britt also touched on Republican support for nationwide access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and criticized Biden’s economic message. While Biden pointed to positive economic indicators, Britt argued that families still struggle with high living costs.

Addressing crime, Britt blamed a perceived rise on a liberal ideology that, she claimed, accepts criminality and opposes police funding. However, crime statistics present a less clear picture, with conflicting data from different sources.
Throughout her response, Britt consistently portrayed Biden as a weak leader, questioning his ability to lead effectively. The State of the Union response is a platform that can elevate a politician’s national profile, and it remains to be seen if this will be a launching pad for Senator Britt.
