      He did. Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate in 2020.

      The bill failed to pass because a bunch of Democrats voted against it.

      From the first paragraph of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_elections :

      Despite losing seats in the House of Representatives, Democrats retained control of the House and gained control of the Senate. As a result, the Democrats obtained a government trifecta, the first time since the elections in 2008 that the party gained unified control of Congress and the presidency.

        … And two independents torpedoed it because they ran as Democrats despite being from essentially Republican areas with one being a giant lying sack of mega shit know as Sinema.

        If you didn’t pass legislation, then you didn’t control the government. This is not a hard concept to understand. It’s one of the very few black and white ones since there is only a binary outcome lol.
