Biden will instigate his Cabinet to accelerate their efforts in a final push to shape his legacy during a conclusive gathering.
"He'll instruct his cabinet to churn out as many tasks as possible – whether that's distributed funds, unveiled fresh programs or policies, or ticking off previously announced projects," reported the source.
Approaching the one-year mark since his last cabinet meeting, and merely four months until the new president swears in, Biden's stance at this gathering is notably dissimilar to his last public address to his senior officials.
He's no longer a presidential contender, now grappling with his final months in office. His abrupt departure from the campaign trail back in the summer flustered White House personnel, prompting them to swiftly draft a last-minute agenda not earlier considered following his decision.
Biden's aim is to leave the American public in no doubt about his achievements and to seal as much of his legacy as possible, should ex-President Donald Trump once again claim the Oval Office.
"He'll be adamant about making the American people aware of what the Biden-Harris administration has delivered for them. And he'll insist that his cabinet presents him directly with any hurdles or obstacles they encounter while striving to accomplish their objectives," the source explained.
The source underscored substantial growth achieved in the past few weeks, such as the reduction in interest rates and the "largest and most intricate" prisoner exchange in U.S. history.
However, several significant items on Biden's to-do list remain unresolved, most notably a truce and hostage agreement in the Middle East. Administration officials are skeptical about the possibility of reaching an accord before Biden vacates office, and tensions in the region continue to intensify.
At the meeting, Dr. Jill Biden will update the cabinet on a White House women's health research initiative, marking her first participation in such a session. Previous first ladies have attended their husbands' cabinet meetings.
"The president will encourage his cabinet to get moving and make the next four months as productive as any other period in our administration," the source concluded. "The majority of the cabinet has been a part of President Biden's team since day one, and this meeting will offer them an opportunity to review the monumental progress they've made together and strategize on how they can continue to set records in the final months of the Biden-Harris administration."
During the meeting, Biden emphasized the importance of showcasing the administration's accomplishments to the public, given the potential return of ex-President Donald Trump to the White House. This includes addressing the unresolved truce and hostage agreement in the Middle East.
As Biden faces his final months in office, his cabinet is urged to make the most of this time by setting new records and tackling unfinished tasks, with the aim of leaving a substantial legacy.
