When Donald Trump returns to office, one of his most trusted advisers in the Senate won’t be a longtime lawmaker or the Republican majority leader.
It will be first-term Alabama Sen. Katie Britt.
Britt, a young rising star of the Republican Party, is known around Capitol Hill for engaging on a number of issues, including abortion, child care and immigration, and often serves as a high-profile messenger for her party. But looking to the new Congress, perhaps one of her greatest strengths will be her relationship with the president-elect.
