President Joe Biden invited his Cabinet to the White House on Friday to strategize for his administration’s waning days in office.
The president planned to use the gathering to “direct his Cabinet to sprint to the finish and deliver for the American people over the next four months,” the White House said Friday ahead of the meeting.
With the next presidential inauguration exactly four months out, Biden and his team planned to “assess the enormous progress they have made” and to “game out how they will continue to make history in the remaining months of the Biden-Harris Administration,” the White House said.
The president and his team are working to shore up the Biden administration’s legacy now that it’s certain he won’t be serving a second term in office. The executive branch is hustling to wrap up work on key initiatives — including getting funding out the door for climate and infrastructure priorities — that could be in jeopardy if former President Donald Trump retakes the White House on Jan. 20.
