Pres. Biden held his first full Cabinet meeting today. The meeting was held in the East room of the White House.

That's because it has more space and allows for more social distancing than the traditional Cabinet meeting room.

The president asked the secretaries of transportation, energy, housing, labor and commerce to be key messengers for his $2 trillion infrastructure proposal.
