President Joe Biden will instruct Cabinet members Friday to “sprint to the finish,” a White House official said, as he looks to burnish legacy items while ensuring as much of his agenda is implemented before a potential second Trump presidency.

U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday said it was critical for Congress to pass a stopgap spending bill, which would avert a partial federal government shutdown that would begin if lawmakers do not pass funding legislation by Oct 1.

Reports say it’s customary for officials to submit questions and key talking points that they plan to present in front of the president to White House aides.

President Biden will summon his Cabinet Friday for the first time in eleven months and direct them to speed up their efforts to implement his agenda. Why it matters: Time is running out on Biden's presidency. There's no guarantee that Vice President Harris will replace him.

White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told reporters on a briefing call late Wednesday that Biden would be using the address to “speak to a new milestone” being reached, with interest rates and inflation dropping while wages and America’s GDP are simultaneously going up.
