I'm not sure why .badge-desc isn't passing. I believe it conforms to the answer in the forum.

I'm almost certain my code for .badge-desc is correct. Does someone have a reason for why it may not be passing?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Floats</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="badge">
        <img class="badge-icon" src="flag.png">
        <h4>Build a Simple Website</h4>
        <p class="badge-desc">Smells Like Bakin' is a cupcake company in need of a website. This project will walk us through the basics of HTML and CSS from the very beginning. HTML and CSS are the structural and presentational building blocks of every website and will serve as the foundation for any web project.</p>
    </div>
</body>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.badge-icon {
  float: left;
  margin-right: 20px;
}; 

.badge-desc {
float: left;
width: 70%;
}; 



/* clearfix styles */

.group:before,
.group:after {
  display: table;
  content: "";
}
.group:after {
  clear: both;
}

Also remove the comma after the .group

The comma is necessary there, Samuel. It tells the browser that both the .group:before and .group:after share the same rules.
