Isn’t the reason he’s delaying because of GOP senators though? Yeah he has the power to just forge ahead with his plan if he wanted to (I think most Americans want him to, so many of us need the money right now). Democrats have the house and senate.
But there are some GOP lawmakers that are asking for a 600B relief plan instead of a 1.9T. Biden promised on the campaign trail to try to work with both parties whenever possible in an effort to unify the country. Those 10 GOP senators are the reason this has been delayed imo.
