We did clean energy, the biggest clean energy bill in human history, a whole lot of good, coming right out of the pandemic. I have to tell you, looking at what\u2019s happening to our democracy right now, it was a mistake not to take voting rights first, to get the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act over the finish line. I\u2019m proud of all that work we did.
