Sen. Tim Scott's Republican Response To Biden's Address, Annotated

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott delivered the official Republican response to President Biden's address to Congress.

Scott, the lone Black GOP senator, spoke after Biden concluded his remarks Wednesday night.

In his address, he sought to offer an alternative to the Biden agenda while defending the GOP, and the nation at large, against charges of racism.
