Over 50,000 people, including 2,500 delegates, are expected to attend the Republican National Convention, where the party will meet to formally nominate its candidate for President and Vice President, and adopt a platform.
Sen. Britt delivered the official GOP response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address earlier this year, making her debut to an audience nationwide as a top party voice and the only Republican mom in the U.S. Senate to working age kids.
