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.
