Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds will give the Republican Party's rebuttal to the speech.<\/p>\n
\"Republican governors across America are leading the charge in defending liberty and securing unmatched economic prosperity in our states,\" Reynolds said in a statement. \"The Biden administration is governing from the far-left, ignoring the problems of working-class Americans while pushing an agenda that stifles free speech, free thought, and economic freedom. The American people have had enough, but there is an alternative, and that's what I look forward to sharing on Tuesday evening.\"<\/p>\n
