US Senator Slotkin to rebut Trump speech as Democrats seek to sharpen message

WASHINGTON, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Democratic leaders are hoping U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin, a former CIA analyst and a winner of tough elections, will help rehabilitate their public image when she gives their rebuttal to President Donald Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday night.

Democrats are betting the 48-year-old Slotkin, a swing state moderate with extensive national security experience, will send the message their party stands for working-class Americans and moderation over extremism.

She unseated a Republican to win election to the House of Representatives in 2018 during Trump's first term in office and won election to the U.S. Senate in Michigan in November even as Trump carried the state.

Her rebuttal will offer Democrats a chance to lay out their opposition to Trump's agenda, following his speech at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday (0200 GMT Wednesday) to a joint session of Congress.
