WASHINGTON (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds will deliver the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on March 1, GOP congressional leaders announced Tuesday as they look outside Washington to appeal to voters in a midterm election year.
Reynolds is the 43rd governor of Iowa and has served since May of 2017. She was the first governor in the country to require schools to open for full-time in-person learning.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell praised her for fighting COVID-19 “without forgetting common sense.”
“The President and his team should take notes,” McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement.
Reynolds pushed back against mask and vaccine mandates amid the coronavirus pandemic. She was chided by the Trump administration’s White House Coronavirus Task Force for ending mask mandates while Iowa was seeing a rapid increase in cases and deaths. Defying science, Reynolds sometimes spoke skeptically about the effectiveness of masks in halting the spread of the virus.
She has governed as a conservative supporting a ban on same-sex marriage. She was a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, appearing at Iowa rallies, and said on a recent Iowa Public Television program that she expected he would endorse her when she formally announces plans for reelection.

A RINO. Oh well, nobody will be listening anyway.
Why is America putting the senile puppet Sleepy Joe through all of this? Do you know how difficult it's going to be for Sleepy Joe to stay awake that late at night and read an hour-long State of the Union speech from his teleprompter? YIKES!
Expect it to be weak kneed and full of worthless rhetoric then.
Do you remember Bobby Jindal's State of the Union response?
Good holy lord....
If anyone is still thinking the GOP is going to save America they are in total denial of reality.
We have been down this road when we had the House, Senate, and White House. Many of the same players are still in place.
It would be hysterical if Trump announced he will be giving his own response to the SOTU address after the Republican response. I would bet he would draw more viewers than the address or the Republican response.
We’re watching political wrestling; matches per-arranged, but treated as real by the duped who cheer wildly with every fake body slam.
“defying science”? lol, what 3rd grade science was the AP looking at?
Nothing ever changes. The same old routine over and over.
My prediction is that Brandon will send a letter to Congress and the People in lieu of a live “performance”. He’ll say it is what Our Forefathers advanced....no Public Affair.
Here, let me jump the line: “Lets go brandon!” End of response.
Response? i’d just use charts and graphs showing the uptick in illegals, crime, energy prices, food prices, murder rates, home prices, etc. Then say something memorable like, Do you miss Trump yet, and drop the mic. That would be epic.

Is Iowa owned by Big Ag?
I bet she won’t mention the border.
NOW THAT... is a great idea.
Trump so needs to do this!
She’s actually been pretty good here in Iowa.
When is the State of the Union speech, so I can avoid it?
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Governor Kim.
