President Biden on Friday described Sen. Katie Britt (Ala.), who gave the Republican response to his State of the Union address the day prior, as “talented.”

“I just saw a little bit on television,” Biden said about her 17-minute rebuttal.

“I thought she was a very talented woman,” he said, adding, “I didn’t quite understand the connections she was making.”

Britt, a first-term senator, went after Biden on Thursday night over high prices at the grocery store and gas station, the situation at the U.S. southern border and crime in cities.
