How to watch the Republican response to the State of the Union
CBSN
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be delivering the Republican response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
CBS News will broadcast the Republican response as part of the special report on the State of the Union.
Sanders was first elected in November as the first female governor in Arkansas' history and the youngest current governor in America, after serving as the White House press secretary for former President Donald Trump. The person from the opposing political party who is chosen for the response to the president's speech is generally viewed as an up-and-comer in political circles. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who is mulling a presidential run, delivered the response in 2021 and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, who is also considering a White House bid, delivered it in 2016.

Supported by crutches and the pastor himself, the disabled man was one of many residents Lewis has helped vote this cycle.
