A standard State of the Union speech doesn't move the political needle much. But Biden's latest gave a surprise boost to his campaign in both polls and fundraising.

I know as well as anyone that typically the State of the Union (SOTU) speech doesn’t have much of an effect. It’s a great opportunity for the president to seize an opportunity for attention and galvanize his base both in the room and at home. But there isn’t often a sustained change in the race. Some good coverage the night of and a little bump that disappears in a couple of days, at best.
