How to stretch cards to fill entire div with HTML/CSS?

I’ve created two cards on a site I am building. I would like them to span the entire div but I cannot get them to span the width without their size being giant. Ideally, I would like to make the cards shorter height and longer width to span the div. The first image below is what I have now, the second image is what I would like it to become.

The current code that I have for this area follows. Any insight is helpful, thanks!

.alignment {

    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    column-gap: 2%;
    padding-bottom: 6%;

}

.container {
    padding: 2px 16px;
    height: 20%;
    width: 100%;
  }


.card {
    /* Add shadows to create the "card" effect */
    box-shadow: 0 5px 13px 0 #000;
    border-radius: 15px;
    background-color: #121212;
    border-color: #121212;
    flex-grow: -1;
    width: 30%;
  }
  
  /* On mouse-over, add a deeper shadow */
  .card:hover {
    box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 000;
  }

  .card img {
    border-radius: 15px 15px 0px 0px;
  }

  .card h3 {
    padding-top: 30px;
  }

  .card h4 {
    padding-top: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 24px;
  }

  #content > div.news > div.alignment.show > div:nth-child(1) > div > h4 {
    text-align: left;
    font-size: 28px;
    margin-bottom: 24px;
  }

  #content > div.news > div.alignment.show > div:nth-child(1) > div > p {
    text-align: left;
    font-size: 18px;
  }

  #content > div.news > div.alignment.show > div:nth-child(2) > div > h4 {
    text-align: left;
    font-size: 28px;
    margin-bottom: 24px;
  }

  #content > div.news > div.alignment.show > div:nth-child(2) > div > p {
    text-align: left;
    font-size: 18px;
  }
  
  .card p {
    margin-top: -8px;
  }

  .card .link-a {
    margin-bottom: 16px;
  }

    Isn’t this what you need?

    Additional styles:

    .alignment {
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    gap: 30px;
}

.card {
    flex-grow: 1;
    width: auto;
}

    Can you try this?

    I don’t know why you used column-gap as % but I think it would be natural not to change depending on the width of the device.

    .alignment {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  padding-bottom: 6%;
  column-gap: 20px;
}

.container {
  padding: 2px 16px;
  height: 20%;
}

.card {
  /* Add shadows to create the "card" effect */
  box-shadow: 0 5px 13px 0 #000;
  border-radius: 15px;
  background-color: #121212;
  border-color: #121212;
  flex-grow: 1;
  color: white;
}


/* On mouse-over, add a deeper shadow */

.card:hover {
  box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 000;
}

.card img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 300px;
  border-radius: 15px 15px 0px 0px;
  object-fit: cover;
}

.card h3 {
  padding-top: 30px;
}

.card h4 {
  padding-top: 20px;
  margin-bottom: 24px;
}

#content>div.news>div.alignment.show>div:nth-child(1)>div>h4 {
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 28px;
  margin-bottom: 24px;
}

#content>div.news>div.alignment.show>div:nth-child(1)>div>p {
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 18px;
}

#content>div.news>div.alignment.show>div:nth-child(2)>div>h4 {
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 28px;
  margin-bottom: 24px;
}

#content>div.news>div.alignment.show>div:nth-child(2)>div>p {
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 18px;
}

.card p {
  margin-top: -8px;
}

.card .link-a {
  margin-bottom: 16px;
