· Manchin may delay Biden social legislation until 2022 on inflation worries -Axios
U.S. Senator Joe Manchin may delay President Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" legislation until next year over inflation worries, Axios reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The $1.75 trillion proposal aims to expand the social safety net in the United States and boost climate change policy.
The House of Representatives passed a separate $1 trillion package of highway, broadband and other infrastructure improvements last week. It was passed by the Senate in August.
Biden has spent the last few months promoting the merits of both pieces of legislation.
