If they had any balls they’d let Trump give it live from a packed rally
Yes this is such a no brainer.
Another cool option would be live to Trump event where he announces his VP pick who then delivers the speech.

Byron Donalds should do this. Albeit I guess the 'abortion' thing with women supposedly weighs in above the ideology. If we lose the Republic to a "mob rule" anarchy meltdown in the process, then those naive women will need abortion as they will be open season for rape en masse. Especially those who have no husband or family to support and defend them.

She is the COC Shelby picked Rino that Trump endorsed after he stabbed Mo Brooks in the back.

Should have been her:

Yep, Shelby trained and hand selected to be his replacement in the GOPe... Chamber of Commerce hack as well...

Can't wait for them to finally give Ole Joe too many amphetamines to get him through another speech.

Can you please explain to me how she is GOPe? She was one of 29 Senators (along with Tuberville) to vote against the foreign aid package to Ukraine.
She was handpicked by the establishment in Alabama, including all the groups running things behind the scenes, specifically the Chamber of Commerce.
Is she more conservative than Richard Shelby who had a 61% liberty rating? Absolutely. Think she's sitting at 81% so far on the heritage rankings.
I think the confusion here is that you have all these different elements in the modern GOP that cause confusion when we define people as this or that. I see it roughly like this:
MAGA: populist fiscally for onshoring jobs/pro worker over pro business, but not as socially conservative on some issues (ex: JD Vance)
Conservative: more socially conservative than MAGA, but often pro-business rather than pro-worker fiscally (ex: DeSantis)
GOPe: All over the board here ranging from CA moderates like McCarthy to wishy washy red district guys like Kennedy, but will invariably vote with the swamp on the items they care about. Gaetz talks about how many of them run up liberty score ratings voting on meaningless items but when an important vote comes up they always go with DC unless their vote isnt needed to get something passed or killed to avoid political fallout.
I view her as a conservative leaning GOPe candidate which is exactly how she positioned herself during her campaign.

Oh God... She's awful. Just a token piece.

I'm not a fan of her. But I think they are trying to say she's essentially career politician-lite
For now. She's still trying to get onto the right committees like her mentor did. Once she secures that, all of this red-meat conservative schtick will go the way of the dodo.

The local COC is not the same as the U.S. COC in DC. Local COCs do good work for local small businesses.

He's so far gone at this point that they can't just worry about writing a good speech, they have to worry about the actual words they use and whether he can even say them. I saw something earlier that may sound a little like conspiracy theory but I thought it was possible, that Biden hasn't said Laken Riley's name yet because his handlers are terrified he'll frick it up if he tries

Agree.
But to be clear. she (and her father before her) ran the state of Alabama COC which is a very different animal.
They are all in with open borders and uncapped work visas so they can replace domestic workers with cheap foreigners to drive down their labor costs along with a myriad of other agenda items I’m not in favor of.
So much like the GOP, I’m a strong supporter of the CoC at the local level, but have major issues with the national organization.

And yet Britt's voting record and rhetoric are not in line with what you believe their stated goals are. She's voted for and sponsored bills to curtail illegal immigration and fund the border wall. I'm sorry but I just don't see how she's GOPe when she hasn't voted or talked like GOPe as of yet.
