Alabama Senator Katie Britt delivered a scathing GOP rebuttal to President Biden’s State of the Union address, criticizing him as a “dithering and diminished leader” and highlighting what she sees as his failures, particularly in handling the migrant crisis.
Britt, known as a rising star in the Republican Party, expressed concerns about the future of America under Biden’s leadership, warning that the next generation may have fewer opportunities and less freedom. She criticized Biden’s long political career, contrasting it with her own status as the youngest woman elected to the Senate.
The senator focused on immigration, condemning Biden’s border policy as a “disgrace” that has led to a surge in migrants entering the US.
She specifically mentioned the case of Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student allegedly killed by an illegal migrant, accusing Biden of failing to take responsibility for his role in the crisis.

Britt also criticized Democrats for being soft on crime, accusing them of coddling criminals and cutting loose repeat offenders. She highlighted the impact of rising crime rates on communities across the country.
On the economic front, Britt criticized Biden’s “reckless spending,” which she argued has caused the cost of living to skyrocket. She accused Biden of failing to address the economic challenges facing American families.
Turning to foreign policy, Britt criticized Biden’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and his approach to Iran, describing the US as a “nation in retreat” under his leadership.
While Britt did not mention former President Trump by name in her rebuttal, she emphasized the choice facing the country and the Republican Party’s commitment to a different path. She endorsed Trump in December, indicating her alignment with his policies and vision for the country.
