(PJ Media) Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) delivered the Republican response to the State of the Union address.
According to The Hill, Sanders “finds herself at her highest position yet in a GOP that is at an intersection between Trumpism and potential new leaders” with her appearance. She was an inspired choice to deliver the GOP response for multiple reasons. First, as Trump’s press secretary, she proved herself an effective communicator who could go toe-to-toe with Democrats. Second, as the nation’s youngest governor, she represents a new generation of conservative leaders.
“The American people deserve better than Democrats’ runaway inflation, surging crime, open borders, and failing schools,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a statement. “I am excited for the nation to hear from Governor Sanders on Tuesday and witness a sharp contrast with this exhausted and failing Administration.”
“She is a servant-leader of true determination and conviction,” said Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). “I’m thrilled Sarah will share her extraordinary story and bold vision for a better America on Tuesday. Everyone, including President Biden, should listen carefully.”
“I am grateful for this opportunity to address the nation and contrast the GOP’s optimistic vision for the future against the failures of President Biden and the Democrats,” Sanders said ahead of Tuesday night’s address. “We are ready to begin a new chapter in the story of America — to be written by a new generation of leaders ready to defend our freedom against the radical left and expand access to quality education, jobs, and opportunity for all.”
