Schumer said he believes talks between another group of moderate Senate Republicans and Democrats, which could lead to a bipartisan proposal by the end of the week, are more promising.
The Democratic leader also said he is preparing to move the reconciliation package along a parallel path to bypass Republican obstruction in the event that bipartisan negotiations fail to reach a deal or if any deal advances except for part of President Biden.

“We’re pursuing a two-track proposal. On the one hand, there are bipartisan negotiations, and those are ongoing. The first was between President Biden and Senator Capito, with only Republicans. It looks like those hit a brick wall,” Schumer said.
But a bipartisan group led by Sens. [Kyrsten] Cinema [D-Ariz.], I think Senator. [Rob] Portman [Ohio] He’s the main Republican, they’re trying to put together something that might be closer to what the president needs.”
“That’s fine, but that won’t be the only answer. We all know, as caucuses, that we’re not going to be able to do all the things the country needs in a bipartisan way. So we’re at the same time seeking reconciliation, and it’s happening at the same time.”
Schumer suggested that part of Biden’s infrastructure package could move in a bipartisan deal that would get 60 votes while the rest would move through reconciliation.
“It may be that part of the bill that will be passed bipartisan and part of it will be through reconciliation, but we will not sacrifice the enormity and boldness of this bill. We will only follow two paths, and at some point they will join.”
Schumer made his statement Tuesday afternoon when Capito and Biden were scheduled to have another phone conversation.
A phone call between the president and the Republican senator on Friday failed to make much progress.
Capito told Biden on Friday that Republicans will increase their latest offer for $928 billion in infrastructure investment by $50 billion, but White House Press Secretary Jen Psakijn Psaki Democrats have reached a tipping point with Manchin Note: Political winds turn against Biden overnight Energy: Climate It appears as a sticking point in infrastructure | US recovers millions of cryptocurrencies paid to pipeline hackers | Chief Scientist: NOAA is “a billion agencies trapped in a 0.5 billion budget” More said it’s still less than Biden wants.
“The president expressed gratitude for her efforts and goodwill, but also noted that the current offer does not meet his goals of growing the economy, addressing the climate crisis and creating new jobs,” Psaki said in a statement after the meeting.

“There will be some conversations today,” Tester said. “I think there is a possibility that we can get this thing done in a bipartisan way.
“I think people say the same thing. We just say it at different times.
Asked when the bipartisan group would propose a key spending figure, Tester said, “I hope it will be by the end of this week.”
The group was scheduled to meet on Tuesday afternoon.
