Biden To Hold First Cabinet Meeting

WASHINGTON (AP) – Joe Biden’s first Cabinet meeting of his presidency will be used to promote his new infrastructure plan. The coronavirus pandemic is giving Thursday’s gathering a very different look from Cabinet meetings held by Biden’s predecessors. Cabinet officials won’t meet in the room that bears its name. Instead, the meeting will take place in the more spacious East Room to allow for social distancing. All attendees, including the president, will wear masks. And the afternoon gathering probably won’t include the over-the-top tributes to the chief executive that came to define the Cabinet meetings held by President Donald Trump.
