Two things. First, on the executive orders, we've still got a couple that are coming and some that will put, I think, President-elect Trump in something of an interesting bind or at least some interesting choices.

On your broader question, you know, what's been remarkable, I think, to all of us has been the degree to which President Biden has seeded the spotlight.
