The Biden White House hoped that the president's angry State of the Union address, which was a campaign speech with extra gaslighting thrown in, would give him an approval bump. Still, if anything, Biden's SOTU appears to have done the opposite.
The White House has been trying to keep Biden as far away from reporters as possible, and it's clear the president has been instructed to do as he's told:

The Biden White House has really painted themselves into a corner. It's campaign season, but their guy can't campaign or deliver speeches that don't turn off even more voters, and the "basement strategy" won't cut it this year.

You can almost hear the "yikes" coming from the Biden campaign.

The more they put Biden out there the worse this gets. Yesterday Biden's "campaign event" was held at a house in Saginaw, Mich. and he made no speech and took no questions. Then Biden's handlers rushed reporters back to their cars:
BIDEN: "Can I take a couple questions?"

His handlers IMMEDIATELY remove the press. pic.twitter.com/nJVb3WNVz3
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer had other things to do when Biden visited Michigan:
Did anyone find it odd Gov. Whitmer was not with President Biden Thursday? She was in Kalamazoo promoting a new beer instead. Usually a Governor, especially one of the same party, would be with the President when he comes to visit a state. pic.twitter.com/X0dPCTyU0d

Biden's become political kryptonite for many Democrats and it shows.
