that there was a deal and was there any point where your confidence had become shaky about this? no. through the whole process, look ago the people who were involved including the bipartisan group of senators, but also the president. i think i was on one of the stations couple weeks ago and said people continue to under estimate president biden and he continues to deliver. and it s really because he has such an intentional team. you talk about steve and you have to talk about anita dunn and ryan klein and brian dies and lisa rice. the thing that is so special he says let s keep our head down, do the work, don t have to grand stand or beat our chest, let s just deliver for the american people. same as with the vaccines, getting them shots in the arms, same thing we ll do with the infrastructure and then go to the family plan and we re going
