Congresswoman Lateefah Simon (D-CA), a protégé of former Vice President Kamala Harris, has been selected by the Working Families Party (WFP) to deliver their response to President Trump's upcoming address to Congress. Simon expressed her gratitude for the opportunity, emphasizing the WFP's commitment to a government that prioritizes working people over the wealthy. She highlighted the importance of congressional representatives advocating for their communities and presenting an alternative vision for the country.

The WFP, a smaller progressive party, has previously chosen prominent figures like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib to deliver responses to presidential addresses. Simon's selection reflects her alignment with the party's progressive values.
