State of the Union: Sarah Huckabee Sanders delivers Republican response - BBC

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the youngest governor in the US, has delivered the Republican response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address.

"From out-of-control inflation and violent crime to the dangerous border crisis and threat from China, Biden and the Democrats have failed you."

"Americans want common sense from their leaders, but in Washington, the Biden administration is doubling down on crazy," Mrs Sanders said from Little Rock, the state capital of Arkansas.

During her White House tenure, Mrs Sanders and journalists frequently clashed, and she faced personal attacks over her looks from comedians.

Also delivering a response to President Biden's State of the Union, but in Spanish, was Juan Ciscomani, a newly elected lawmaker in the US House of Representatives from Arizona.

He sits as part of the new Republican majority in the House, a change from Mr Biden's first State of the Union last year, which came under unified Democratic control of Washington.
