That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.
I would guess that was higher energy than Republicans expected. But, people always underestimate Joe.
Exaggerating Biden’s mental fitness day after day is a double-edged sword, since in moments like this he can blow away expectations
Fox News is literally calling him, “Jacked-Up Joe” now hahaha.
Jacked up joe makes him sound like a muscle bound super villian, and I love it.
Lets Go! Dark Biden JACKED UP on Freedom Steroids! riding his Socialist Bicycle into a brighter future!
Jacked up is just the next power level of Dark Brandon
Thats to be expected.
Remember, the enemies of Fascists are whatever the fascist narrative needs them to be in moment. Which is why Joe Biden has been weak, pathetic, and ineffective while also being a strong man dictatorial master of complex conspiracies.
Forgot about J.O.E
What people also forget is that the last election was campaigned during Covid. This will be his last campaign and he is one of the best retail politicians ever. While Trump can organize events, Joe will be pressing the flesh and eating ice cream.

Going into it, I was wondering if he could pull this off. He needs to be giving more and more public speeches as November gets closer. And every single speech has a chance of hurting him in the polls, helping him in the polls, or not moving the polls.
I felt that the probability of this SOTU was more leaning towards hurting him because of potential stumbles and gaffes - of which he had a few but not many. After watching, if I had to guess 0-100 where 0 hurts hims absolutely and 100 helps him then I would say it was a 60.
I was expecting somewhere closer to 40. We’ll have to see what the polls say in the next few days to really get a clear picture of its effects.
He definitely started off strong, with energy. Which is exactly what he needs to convey if he wants to convince people he’s not too old to be president. But he did have some moments there where he messed up certain words. For example mentioning taking Air Force One to Moscow or women’s “electrical power” instead of electoral.
Regardless, I think it was a good job by Biden and he’s gonna need to keep this up if he wants any chance to win this election because the polls are preferring Trump at this point in time.
