In a tacit acknowledgment of the long odds, Mr. Biden also spoke with Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, about beginning work on a new budget blueprint, which Democrats could use to set up the fast-track reconciliation process that would allow them to avoid a filibuster and push through a package with no support from Republicans.
Mr. Schumer said Democrats would begin that process while the bipartisan talks continued, effectively preparing a backup plan if negotiations collapse, as many lawmakers in both parties believe is inevitable.
โIt may well be that part of the bill that will pass will be bipartisan, and part of it will be through reconciliation,โ Mr. Schumer said, speaking at his weekly news conference. โBut weโre not going to sacrifice the bigness and boldness in this bill. We will just pursue two paths, and at some point, they will join.โ
Does this mean Democrats do it alone now or is there still some lingering hope for a bipartisan Bill?

Thank you for joining me today! I'll be checking back over the next couple days to answer more questions. Please remember to request your absentee ballot!
Like so many other families in Appalachia, Iโve lost family and friends to poverty and the healthcare crisis. Iโve watched as family members, neighbors and community members suffered with addiction, cancer, and underserved health issues.
Our ancestors started the labor movement deep in the coalfields decades ago, yet we are still fighting to end the plight of poverty. We deserve a fair and diverse economy, a livable wage, healthcare, a clean environment for our children, education and the promise for a bright future.
Itโs time for West Virginians to have a voice in Washington, D.C. The industrial revolution was built on the backs of coal miners, their families, and our communities. Weโve provided power to America and now, itโs time to empower ourselves.
I think we do this by focusing on common values. Everyone wants to make a decent living and be able to feed their family. Every mother wants her children to have clean water to drink and clean air to breathe. Every teacher wants to be paid fairly and for each of her students to have the same opportunities, regardless of where they live.
This campaign is about lifting up the people of West Virginia who have long been pushed aside and deemed collateral damage to economic growth and corporate irresponsibility.
I know West Virginia can be a leader in the transition to a renewable energy economy that will not only provide jobs but will result in healthier living and working conditions for many current coal industry workers.
I support:
Medicare for All
Federal funding for addiction recovery and prevention programs
The Reclaim Act
Free public pre-school and college/trade school
Strengthening unions
