President Barack Obama drew some unexpected applause during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address following a line he has often repeated since his 2012 re-election.

“I have no more campaigns to run,” Obama said.

The comment sparked a round of applause from Republicans in the audience, drawing the attention of Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). The president smiled in response and ad-libbed, “I know, because I won both of them.”

That remark drew even more applause, only this time from the Democratic side of the aisle.
