President Biden held his first cabinet meeting Thursday, gathering the full group as he gears up to push his mammoth infrastructure package through Congress.

The meeting took place in the White House East Room as opposed to the smaller Cabinet Room, in order for all 25 expected guests to be able to maintain COVID-19 social distancing.

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, all members have been based in the nation’s capital, making it easy to lock down a date. Former President Donald Trump’s first cabinet meeting didn’t take place until June 2017.

Journalists were allowed to observe only about two minutes of the meeting, during which Biden said he wanted all cabinet members to enforce his orders to prioritize buying US-made goods.

Biden also said he was charging five cabinet secretaries with shepherding his $2 trillion infrastructure plan through Congress.

“Working with my team here in the White House, these cabinet members will represent me in dealing with Congress, engage the public in selling the plan and help work out the details as we refine it and move forward,” Biden said.

Biden assigned the role to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

The meeting comes at an ideal time for the current commander-in-chief, one day after unveiling the administration’s massive infrastructure bill that cabinet secretaries will soon be dispatched nationwide to promote.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday aboard Air Force One, White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the American Jobs Plan and the American Rescue Plan would be “key” topics of discussion at Thursday’s gathering.

“The focus of the meeting will be working together to continue implementing and communicating about the American Rescue Plan and how it continues to deliver for working families, discussing the role cabinet members will play in advocating for the American Jobs Plan, and ensuring we accelerate our federal COVID-19 response,” Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard the aircraft. 

As of Thursday, the Senate has confirmed nearly all of Biden’s nominees who required approval.

Acting Office of Management and Budget director Shalanda Young, who was confirmed as deputy director, attended the meeting for her department as the administration decides how to proceed on filling the position after original nominee Neera Tanden withdrew her candidacy.

Vice President Kamala Harris and White House chief of staff Ron Klain also attended.

In order to pay for Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure and jobs package, the federal government would impose a slew of new taxes, the administration revealed alongside the plan.

The “Build Back Better” proposal will be split into two tax-and-spend packages for Congress to weigh, with the first focusing on infrastructure and the second focusing on funding Democrats’ domestic policy platform.

On Wednesday, the president repeated his claim that “no one making under $400,000 will see their federal taxes go up, period” — despite uncertainty on that point.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that the $400,000 mark would apply to individual filers as well as families.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said recently that the $400,000 mark would apply to individual filers as well as families.

The problem, however, is that doing so could hit individuals who make less than $400,000, such as two adults making $200,000 each who are filing jointly.

In addition, Biden’s proposal would impose a global minimum tax on profits from foreign organizations, increase capital gains taxes, and raise corporate taxes.
