As the Biden presidency winds down, Donald Trump is stepping into a leadership role unprecedented for an incoming president during the transition period.

This dynamic has caught the attention of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who describes Trump as the “first de facto president” in U.S. history.

Alabama Senator Katie Britt shares this perspective. During a recent appearance on Mobile’s FM Talk 106.5, she highlighted the stark contrast between Trump’s rising influence and Biden’s diminishing presence.

“Oh my gosh — look, I mean, do you not already feel like Donald Trump is the president? Because I do,” she said. “I mean, it feels that he already is the president. Here you have, you know, Joe Biden over there, mulling over whether or not he’s going to take ‘end of the administration’ pictures of his White House staff. And you have President Trump showing and being kind of that head of state there in Paris at the opening of Notre Dame. You have him making these decisions and policy changes in front of the American people that are being put out there. So Joe Biden, the best thing he can do is just — I don’t know, maybe sip some eggnog and enjoy the lights on the Christmas tree there at the White House. But other than that, we’re finished here.”

The Alabama Senator expressed strong criticism of the current administration’s final weeks in office, pointing to what she views as attempts to salvage their reputation. “When you see this administration continue to try to reinvent his legacy in these last few weeks, it’s embarrassing,” Britt added. “I mean, you’ve got to make sure that people continue to understand, and they will, what these past four years under the Biden-Harris administration have been like. They know their borders are unsecure. They see people dying of fentanyl.”
