But in what could be considered a reward for slogging through Biden’s 107-minute tirade, next up was Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) to give the official, Republican rebuttal to Biden.

As the senator spoke, Republicans and conservatives swiftly shared their thoughts on how she was doing on X. Conservative commentator Nick Adams didn’t hold back:

Katie Britt is NAILING IT tonight! pic.twitter.com/NljUdmipgU

To many, it was crystal clear who Republicans were hoping to appeal to by choosing Britt:

Great choice to appeal to suburban women.

Clay Travis from the “Clay and Buck” radio program agreed, devoting several posts to the topic:

Her speech isn’t for dudes. They’re all already voting for Trump. It’s for suburban women, the kinds of people who buy into the idea that Republicans are all old rich white dudes, and might be persuadable because they don’t like Biden, Kamala or Trump.

— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) March 8, 2024

He also called Britt “a  star,” adding that “the contrast between her and Biden is staggering”:

No idea how many are watching her from her Alabama kitchen right now, but the contrast between her and Biden is staggering. She’s half his age, ten times the communicator. She’s killing it.

One X user, pointing to the future, called this “growing the congregation”: 

Katie Britt isn’t preaching to the choir tonight, to the people that are already voting for President Trump.

What she’s doing is helping us grow the congregation and cut through the lie that suburban women and mothers are not rallying behind President Trump.

That’s how we win…

— CJ Pearson (@thecjpearson) March 8, 2024

The last line reads: “That’s how we win in 2024.”

This X user gave Britt some home state props, and like others, pointed to the stark contrast in tone with Biden:

Katie Britt, from my home state of Alabama!! So proud of her!!

She isn’t a stiff emotionless politican. What a contrast to the angry old man who spoke before. She cares about America, children, secure borders, poor. And you can hear it in every word. #GOPResponse #SOTU pic.twitter.com/p4l857gHJQ

There were also some mixed reviews from conservatives:

Katie Britt is exactly the right pick for the response, but this is hard to watch. She’s acting instead of just speaking.

— Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) March 8, 2024

“The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin gave Sen. Britt praise for “her focus on the border, on the economy,” but admitted the kitchen setting threw her:

Former Trump WH aide @Alyssafarah on Katie Britt’s rebuttal:

The staging of this was bizarre to me. Women can be both wives and mothers and also stateswomen. So to put her in a kitchen…Felt very flat and was confusing to some women watching it.” pic.twitter.com/US8a1OqBH4

Jesse Kelly, on the other hand, wasn’t impressed with Britt’s demeanor: 

Not what I’d prefer out of the GOP response, but there’s no question Katie Britt has mastered the ultimate weapon of dimes everywhere; the fake cry.

That’s a seasoned pro right there.

— Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) March 8, 2024

TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk also had trouble with the presentation:

I’m sure Katie Britt is a sweet mom and person, but this speech is not what we need. Joe Biden just declared war on the American right and Katie Britt is talking like she’s hosting a cooking show whispering about how Democrats “dont get it.”

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) March 8, 2024

But there was one more Republican who shared his thoughts on Sen. Britt’s performance, and thought she did a “great job”:

Katie Britt was a GREAT contrast to an Angry, and obviously very Disturbed, “President.” She was compassionate and caring, especially concerning Women and Women’s Issues. Her conversation on Migrant Crime was powerful and insightful. Great job Katie!

If you aren’t able to read former President Donald Trump’s post from Truth Social, it says:

Katie Britt was a GREAT contrast to an Angry, and obviously very Disturbed, “President.” She was compassionate and caring, especially concerning Women and Women’s Issues. Her conversation on Migrant Crime was powerful and insightful. Great job Katie!
