That is not why the vote failed. Please tell me you don't actually believe that. Schumer did the right thing in bringing the vote to the floor to be the eternal negotiators on record. Republicans want nothing more than to do nothing. Especially when it's beneficial politically to Biden. Schumer learned from the mistakes of Obama in trying to negotiate in good faith with McConnell and the Republicans...who were in the end never really want a solution, just to drag things out until they can flip one of the chambers or the White House.
I don’t think you are necessarily countering anything I said. Yes, Schumer is pushing to keep a schedule for this bill to either move forward or see if it needs wrapped into the reconciliation bill. In order to do so, he’s pushing a timeline that the group wasn’t able to reach this week and it looks like now next week could he make or break since there is the recon bill that needs to be handled as well.
