“President Biden just doesn't get it. He's out of touch. Under his administration, families are worse off.”

identify as “pro-life” and evangelical Christians.

Britt repeated that support during her speech “We want families to grow. It’s why we strongly support continued nationwide access to in vitro fertilization,” she said. “We want to help loving moms and dads bring precious life into this world.”

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement responding to Britt’s remarks: “Because an extreme Supreme Court decision overturned Roe v. Wade and set American women back nearly 50 years – with Senator Britt’s support – women across Alabama were just cut off from IVF treatment and dreams of growing their families.”

During his speech, Biden called upon Congress to “guarantee the right to IVF.” When Democrats in the Senate tried to advance a bill that would enact federal protections for the fertility procedure, Republicans largely would not commit to supporting it. Sen. Cindy HydeSmith, R-Miss., blocked the proposal on the Senate floor, arguing the federal bill was overreach and policy is best left up to the states.

Britt closed with an emotional appeal “to my fellow moms” for the sake of their children and grandchildren: “Get into the arena.”

“Every generation has been called to do hard things,” she said. But “we are steeped in the blood of patriots who overthrew the most powerful empire in the world . ... And when we gaze upon the heavens, never forget that our DNA contains the same ingenuity that put man on the moon.”

The speech comes on the heels of Super Tuesday, when multiple states held their primary elections. Trump’s runaway win in those contests pushed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley out of the race, marking the beginning of the general election season.

Both Biden and Britt’s speeches reflected the messaging that will mark campaign divisions through the rest of the year. Republicans plan to hammer on the economy, the border crisis and public safety, while Democrats will highlight potential threats to democracy and reproductive rights under a second Trump presidency while touting wins under the current administration.

Former Democratic Alabama Sen. Doug Jones said in a statement that Britt’s speech was “disappointing.”

Britt “stuck to Donald Trump’s losing MAGA playbook,” he said, “trotting out the same dangerous and unpopular policies that attack our freedoms and would devastate our economy.”

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell praised Britt as a “smart, capable” senator who “did a fabulous job.”

“By delivering the message from her house, she was able to identify the problems that everyday families have in trying to put food on the table, trying to afford gasoline, and all the rest,” he said.
