Governor Huckabee Sanders to Deliver GOP Rebuttal to State of the Union

Newly-elected Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders will deliver the GOP rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s state of the union address on Tuesday night. The announcement was made by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Speaker McCarthy made the announcement in part with the following statement:

“Americans are still struggling from inflation, a border crisis, record crime, and a failing school system. As House Republicans work to fix these problems in Congress with our Commitment to America, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is addressing them head on with her conservative agenda outside of Washington.

The youngest governor in America, Sarah is fighting on behalf of parents, small businesses and ordinary taxpayers…

She is a servant-leader of true determination and conviction. 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.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell added:

“While President Biden keeps repeating old mistakes and failing Americans, a rising generation of Republican Governors are fighting for families, advancing new solutions, and winning…

Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the youngest Governor in the nation and a powerful advocate for the popular, commonsense conservative principles that will put our country back on a better course.

The American people deserve better than Democrats’ runaway inflation, surging crime, open borders, and failing schools. I am excited for the nation to hear from Governor Sanders on Tuesday and witness a sharp contrast with this exhausted and failing Administration.”
