Alabama Sen. Katie Britt slammed President Joe Biden, saying that he is “out of touch” and does not understand the issues facing American families.
Delivering the GOP’s response to Biden’s State of the Union address, Britt said the president’s remarks were a “performance of a perm politician.”
Britt, who is the youngest Republican woman elected to the US Senate, said Biden has been in office for “longer than I’ve been alive.”
Republicans believe having the 42-year-old senator following the 81-year-old president would draw a stark contrast ahead of the November election.
Britt, a rising star in the GOP, delivered the Republican response from her kitchen table in Alabama, one person familiar with the setting tells CNN, as her party tries to draw a stark contrast ahead of the November election.
Britt is speaking from her home state, where the Republican-led legislature scrambled this week to pass legislation after a Supreme Court ruling that imperiled IVF access in the state.
