Senator Katie Britt, R-Alabama, outlined her expectations for President-elect Donald Trump’s first 100 days back in office, emphasizing the need for a strong leadership approach. In an interview on Fox News’ *”Livin’ the Bream”* podcast, Britt spoke about her excitement to be part of the Republican majority in the Senate and the potential for unified Republican control of the White House, House, and Senate—what some call “the trifecta.”
“This will be my first time in the majority and my first time with a Republican president in the White House,” Britt said during her conversation with host Shannon Bream. “With the vote on Nov. 5, the American people have spoken, and they expect results.”
One of the key areas where Britt expects immediate action is immigration and border security. She anticipates that President Trump will focus on reversing many of the executive orders issued by President Biden. “President Biden issued 94 executive orders in his first 100 days, many of which undone the progress President Trump made during his time in office,” Britt noted. “I expect to see a significant shift back to Trump-era policies, especially on border control.”
Trump has already pledged to launch a large-scale deportation initiative, tapping Tom Homan, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as his “border czar.” Additionally, he has named Stephen Miller, a hardline immigration adviser, as deputy chief of policy in his new administration.
Britt also indicated that the Republican Party would work with Democrats on funding decisions related to border barriers and broader immigration reforms.
In addition to immigration, Britt discussed other issues that are particularly relevant to her home state, such as Alabama’s high maternal mortality rate. “Alabama has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the nation, and that’s something that disproportionately affects Black women,” she said. “In 2024, this should not be the case, and I will be working with colleagues from both parties to address this critical issue.”
Britt emphasized the importance of bipartisan cooperation, highlighting the need to tackle significant national challenges together. “We have a lot of work to do, and we need more people willing to find common ground to solve these problems and help the people we serve,” she added.
