GOP's Katie Britt seen as major player by Trump despite being hit by ridicule: report

Donald Trump will likely rely on a rising Republican star to serve as one of his most trusted advisers in the U.S. Senate, according to a new report. First-term Sen. Katie Britt often serves as a high-profile messenger for Republicans, including with her widely mocked and criticized rebuttal to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address. “She’ll have Trump and will certainly have his ear, and he will probably make some of his changes right in line with things that she has on her mind,” said Joan Reynolds, vice chair of the Alabama Republican Party, adding that anyone who works directly with the president-elect would have a "bright" future. That’s not going to happen with her.” Her GOP colleagues, including retiring Sen. Mitt Romney and Sen. John Kennedy, praised Britt as a respected voice who commands attention, and Sen. John Fetterman told NOTUS that he’s “a big fan.” “Our politics are different, that’s not a weakness,” said Fetterman, who collaborated with Britt on a bill to protect children’s mental health on social media. She’s a quality human being, and that’s the kind of people that should be involved this.” But most importantly, she's got Trump's ear, and Sen. Tommy Tuberville said she should serve as a model to fellow Republicans.
