Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) delivered the Republican Address to the Nation following the State of the Union, expressing deep concerns about the current state of the country. In her speech, Senator Britt highlighted the challenges facing American families, stating, "The country we know and love seems to be slipping away. It feels like the next generation will have fewer opportunities – and less freedom – than we did. I worry my own children may not even get a shot at living their American Dreams."

She emphasized the struggles of hardworking families, pointing out the economic difficulties they are facing, including soaring mortgage rates and childcare costs. Senator Britt criticized President Biden's handling of the border crisis, attributing it to his policies and executive actions, stating, "President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace. It’s despicable. And it’s almost entirely preventable."

Furthermore, Senator Britt touched on the issue of public safety, accusing the left of coddling criminals and defunding the police, leading to a rise in crime across the country. She also criticized President Biden's foreign policy decisions, highlighting the abandonment of allies in Afghanistan and the push for a deal with Iran, which she described as putting America in a position of retreat.

Senator Britt called for strong leadership, stating, "America deserves leaders who recognize that secure borders, stable prices, safe streets, and a strong defense are the cornerstones of a great nation." She urged the American people to take charge of the country's future, emphasizing that "we the People are still in the driver’s seat" and have the power to shape a brighter future for the nation.

In conclusion, Senator Katie Britt's address underscored the challenges facing the United States and outlined the Republican Party's vision for a stronger, more prosperous future.
