They did a lot during his first term, especially during the second half of it, when they had control of the House. And they had some remarkable legislative achievements during Biden's term, especially the first half. But they did not do what they effectively could have done to stop Trump during those first two years when they controlled both houses. Big difference. If they'd done what they could have, we would not be here now.
