on how to deal with hecklers.

I know campaigns bring in a lot of outside help/consultants when they're doing debate prep. If doing SOTU prep in the current environment, the appropriate consultants would be people skilled at dealing with hecklers.

Maybe "Sleepy joe's" years and years of political experience just taught him the right way to turn the heckling back on them, or maybe someone had the forethought to prepare for Repuke misbehavior.
