🇺🇸 President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address — but some Republican strategists believe there was one specific moment that may have shifted the momentum heading into the midterms. Do you know which moment it was? We’ll unpack it.

Meanwhile, several Democrats chose to boycott the address altogether. Did that decision energize their base — or alienate swing voters? We’ll analyze the political chessboard and what this means moving forward.
