U.S. Senator Katie Britt rallied delegates and supporters at the 2024 Republican National Convention, calling for a change in the nation’s direction, and once again endorsing former President Donald Trump as the candidate to lead that change.
Speaking to parents across America, Britt (R-Montgomery) used strong language to highlight the challenges of raising a family in today’s environment, exacerbated, she argued, by the Biden administration’s policies:
“My fellow moms and dads across America – I think we all know raising a family is hard. Add in smartphones and protecting our kids on social media, and we already have plenty to worry about. But then Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came around. Now our lives are that much more difficult – and way more expensive. Under Biden-Harris, prices are high and expectations are low.”
Britt cited numerous key economic factors: Grocery prices have risen by over 21%, electricity by 31%, gas by 48%, and mortgage rates have doubled.
“This is too high a price to pay for an administration that has brought us to such lows,” Sen. Britt said. “The American people won’t have the wool pulled over our eyes. We see how Biden and Harris keep making things worse. And we know the current President is not capable of turning this around.”
KATIE BRITT: Our opportunity, prosperity, security, and safety are ALL in decline—JUST LIKE JOE BIDEN.⁰⁰

In contrast, Britt said that under Trump, the U.S. had the strongest economy in history, with stable prices, secure borders, and safe streets. “With President Trump, the tough choice was which job offer to accept. Now, it’s which second job to take just to pay the bills.”
“Your family can’t afford this costly and dangerous decline for four more years,” Britt said.
Britt warned of further economic damage if Biden and Harris remain in office, urging American voters to support Trump’s return to the White House. “Four more years of Biden-Harris will impose a lifetime of financial damage for our children and our nation. It’s time to return President Trump to the White House,” she said.
“[Biden’s] weakness is costing us our: Opportunity. Prosperity. Security. Safety. Each diminished. All in decline,” Sen. Britt said. “Just like the man in the Oval Office.”
