Axios Sneak Peek

Former COVID-19 czar Jeff Zients is expected to serve as President Biden's next chief of staff, replacing Ron Klain, who plans to leave the post in February, a person familiar with the matter told Axios.

Why it matters: Zients will be tasked with guiding the administration through Biden's likely re-election campaign and as congressional Republicans have unleashed a battery of investigations into the administration. 

Klain, who has been an influential player in the Biden White House, is expected to leave the role after the State of the Union address in February, Axios previously reported.

The big picture: Zients was tapped by Klain to lead a talent search in preparation for post-midterms turnover, even though it looks less likely that there will be a big cabinet shake-up.

Zients served as a co-chairman of the Biden transition team before becoming the White House COVID-19 response coordinator.

He worked with then-vice-president Biden as director of the National Economic Council during the Obama administration and was also acting director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Other candidates who were considered for the top job include White House counselor Steve Richetti, White House senior adviser Anita Dunn, domestic policy adviser Susan Rice and UNICEF executive director Cathy Russell.

The details: Toward the end of last year, Klain had signaled to close allies that he was ready to move on, after leading the administration through the pandemic and seeing much of Biden's policy agenda pass on the Hill. 

But the White House was having trouble finding the right person who had all the right instincts: political, managerial, policy and communications. 

Zients, a person familiar with the matter said, has the right skill set as a master implementor —  a priority for the White House. 

Zients' longstanding relationship with Biden, his senior advisers, senior White House staff and Cabinet is also a key component, they said.

Biden’s main political and legislative team—Ricchetti, Dunn, Mike Donilon, Jen O’Malley Dillon, Bruce Reed, Louisa Terrell— will remain, and Klain is expected to stay closely involved, as well, the person said.

Politics & Policy

Democratic and Republican members of Congress alike on Sunday reproached President Biden over the discovery of yet another tranche of classified documents at his home in Delaware.

Why it matters: Democrats' increasing willingness to publicly rebuke the president signals the White House's allies are treating the gradual trickle of classified document revelations as a serious scandal.

Saturday's announcement that the DOJ found more documents at Biden's home is the third such disclosure by the president's team this month.

What they're saying: "I'm concerned. There's a standard that we follow when it comes to members of Congress and classified information," said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on CNN's "State of the Union." "To think any of them ended up in boxes in storage ... is just unacceptable."

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), on NBC's "Meet the Press," said "to put those in unsecured spaces is irresponsible," and — in a rejoinder to Biden saying he has "no regrets" about his handling of the situation — said the president "should have a lot of regrets."

He added on CNN: "It's unbelievable how this could happen. It's totally irresponsible."

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), like his colleagues, contrasted Biden's handling of the documents with Congress' procedures for such materials on CBS' "Face the Nation": "It's always in a classified facility where I don't have access to the materials other than to sit there and read them."

Between the lines: Durbin acknowledged Biden lost the high ground on classified information: "Let's be honest about it, when that information is found, it diminishes the stature of any person in possession of them, because it's not supposed to happen."

“The political fallout is it’s going to take focus and attention” away from Biden’s other priorities, Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) said on ABC’s "This Week."

Yes, but: Some Democrats rushed to Biden's defense, noting that the DOJ's search of his home on Friday was consensual and that Biden's team has not appeared to put up roadblocks to the investigation.

Both Durbin and Coons pointed to the "sharp contrast" between Biden and former President Trump in terms of cooperating with the DOJ.

"The important point there ... is that he had no idea," Coons said, "If you’re serving in the Senate or as vice president, you literally get millions of documents coming through your office. ... So, I do think this was inadvertent."

Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), on "Fox News Sunday," said the White House has "cooperated in a constructive way," but added, "We need to get to the bottom of what happened."

The backdrop: Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed former U.S. attorney Robert Hur as a special counsel to investigate the matter.

The other side: Republican lawmakers signaled that they see the classified documents as potentially developing into one of the landmark scandals of Biden's term. 

"Watergate started as a very small burglary and it led to the president of the United States resigning," said Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, on "This Week."

Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), chair of the Intelligence Committee, labeled Biden a "serial classified document hoarder" on “Face the Nation” and said of the White House's process of disclosing document discoveries: "This looks more like a cover-up than an investigation."

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), on “Meet the Press,” suggested Biden's document scandal is more severe than Trump's because, in Biden's case, "these documents were hidden for five years."

"It's unbelievable how this could happen. It's totally irresponsible," Sen. Joe Manchin said.

Senate Democrats

Meet The Press-10 46 59 Am - 10 47 59 Am-2023-01-22

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va) was noncommital Sunday on whether he will seek re-election to the Senate in 2024. 

Why it matters: Republicans are already eyeing West Virginia as a top seat to flip to regain control of the chamber. 

One Republican, West Virginia Rep. Alex Mooney, already announced he is running for Manchin's seat in 2024.  

What he's saying: "I haven't made a decision what I'm going to do in 2024," Manchin said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," when asked whether he would run as a Democrat. 

"I’ve got two years ahead of me now to do the best I can for the state and for my country," he said. 

"Everything's on the table," Manchin, who also did not rule out running for president in 2024, added. He did rule out running for West Virginia governor in 2024. 

"I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that, when I make my decision, I make it based on ... what I think I can do to support and best for my country and my state," he said. 

Zoom out: Democrats face a 2024 Senate map that is highly favorable to Republicans and they'll look to retain control of a number of seats, including some in states where former President Trump won in 2020.

In addition to West Virginia, candidates have entered Senate races in Indiana, Ohio and California.

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is planning to depart after the State of the Union address in February once his successor is firmly in place, according to an administration official. 

Why it matters: Klain has been one of the most consequential chiefs of staff in the modern presidency and his departure will deprive President Biden of a trusted adviser who knows both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. 

The New York Times first reported news of Klain's departure.

The departure will come as Biden prepares to announce his re-election campaign and the White House is facing intense scrutiny from Congressional Republicans on classified documents found in Biden's former office at a Washington, D.C., think tank and his Wilmington, Delaware, home. 

Biden has tried to persuade Klain to stay and White House officials have privately suggested that he is irreplaceable. 

Driving the news: Former COVID-19 czar Jeff Zients has been leading an outside review on how to organize Biden’s White House — and his cabinet — for the last two years of his first term. 

It looks less likely that there will be a big cabinet shake-up, especially after Biden and Treasury Secretary Jane Yellen decided that she will stay on.

What we are watching: Zients is among the candidates that could get the top job, according to people familiar with the matter. 

Other potential candidates include White House counselor Steve Ricchetti, who was considered for the top job at the beginning of the term. 

The White House could also bring in Tom Donilon, who served as President Obama’s national security adviser, and pair him with his brother, Mike Donilon, as co-chiefs-of-staff. 

Cathy Russell, Tom Donilon’s wife who is currently the executive director at UNICEF, might also be considered. 

Senior administration officials hold former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu in high esteem. 

Susan Rice, who chairs the Domestic Policy Council, now has experience in domestic and foreign policy. 

Go deeper: Klain has been instrumental in the two projects that animated Biden's first two years in the White House: stocking the judicial branch with judges (and one Supreme Court Justice) and convincing Congress to spend billions on transportation, infrastructure and climate. 

Klain has also tended to the progressive wing in Biden's coalition, hosting lawmakers in the West Wing for meetings and visiting them on their own turf. 

Known for all-caps emails, fired off at all hours, Klain has confided in friends that he was exhausted from the job.

Editor's note: This story has been corrected to change Cathy Russell's job title.

Average price Instacart customers paid for a dozen eggs, December 2022

The price of eggs is now so high it has sparked a flock of memes pointing out that it's now probably too expensive to egg your enemy's house.

The big picture: Retail prices of eggs have “begun to ease,” according to a recent USDA report. But consumers (and the internet) are still facing historically high prices for a dozen large eggs, which just jumped another 66 cents on average in December, up to $4.25. 

The protein's price increased nearly 60% in December compared to a year earlier, according to the recent Consumer Price Index released last week.

In a new USDA report Friday, the federal agency said consumer demand continues to decline and “shell egg prices remain at unappetizing levels in retail outlets relative to other proteins.”

Any retreat from December's record highs isn't quite reaching the consumer yet. 

Another meme showed a mocked-up jewelry ad touting "He went to Kroger" with an egg instead of a ring.

Brian Moscogiuri, a global trade strategist at Eggs Unlimited, an egg supplier based in Irvine, California, told Axios retail pricing often lags the wholesale market and there is traditionally a 20% to 30% drop from seasonal highs to January and February lows.

Experts expect inflated prices to decline in the first half of 2023 due to the decrease in demand for eggs after the holidays,” Curt Covington, senior director of partner relations at AgAmerica, told Axios.

“But if input costs continue to increase and the bird flu continues to kill large quantities of hens the costs will likely be passed on to consumers," Covington said.

Between the lines: The avian influenza outbreak or bird flu that began in February 2022 is a key factor in the price hike.

The outbreak has killed approximately 60 million birds, which includes 41 million commercial egg-laying hens, Karyn Rispoli, editor of the Egg Price Current for Urner Barry, recently told Axios.

Egg farms are recovering but there are 6% fewer hens laying eggs, Emily Metz, American Egg Board president & CEO, said in a statement to Axios, citing recent USDA data.

The good news is that while egg prices were up, overall, U.S. consumers got a reprieve from soaring costs in December as the index declined on a monthly basis, the first drop since last summer, Axios’ Courtenay Brown reports.

By the numbers: Instacart shared a breakdown of state average egg prices with Axios that shows how much customers paid on the platform in December for a dozen eggs. The Instacart data shows:

Eggs were over $6 a dozen in Arizona, California, Nevada, Alabama, Florida and Hawaii, with Hawaii having the most expensive eggs at $9.73.

Six Midwest states — Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska and Missouri — had eggs under $4.50 a dozen with Missouri having the cheapest eggs at $4.24 a dozen.

Of note: Retailers set prices on the Instacart marketplace, the company said, noting some set prices that are different than in-store prices. Fees and limits can also apply.

Limited egg supply because of the bird flu is also impacting prices. 

Reports of egg shortages have also been on the rise, including in Colorado, where a new state law requires locally raised chickens be cage-free if their eggs are sold in grocery stores, Alayna Alvarez reports for Axios Denver.

Shoppers on Facebook, including several Costco groups across the country, are routinely posting how their clubs and stores have had limited egg supplies and asking others where they’ve found eggs and pricing.

Isolated shortages are "being swiftly corrected,” Metz said.

After a record economic expansion, the coronavirus pandemic sent the U.S. economy into a recession as unemployment soared to staggering heights. The country now faces urgent questions about how much stimulus is needed for reeling consumers and businesses, and what a recovery might look like.

Economy & Business

Both sides in the abortion fight are trying to claim symbolic high ground on Sunday's 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade while looking ahead to a new phase that will be largely fought in state capitals and the courts.

What’s happening: Anti-abortion groups are celebrating the culmination of their decades-long effort to overturn the federal right to the procedure while abortion rights advocates are pressing to maintain access in states where it remains legal.

Those activists also are trying to ensure that the energy around the issue that fueled Democrats' midterm engagement doesn't wane. 

"It's important for us to lend the message that the protests of last year were not a fluke, November was not a fluke ... and the fight for the last 50 years was not a fluke," said Rachel Carmona, executive director of Women's March, which is having its national march on Sunday in Madison, Wisconsin.

Carmona told Axios that the march is happening in a key swing state instead of Washington, D.C. — where previous national Women's Marches have taken place — because there's not much that a divided Congress can do, and "the fight is going back to the states."

What they're saying: Sunday is a day "to reflect on the faithfulness of the pro-life movement," said Marilyn Musgrave, vice president of government affairs at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.

"I never thought I'd see Roe overturned in my lifetime, and here we are," Musgrave added.

Where things stand: In its Dobbs opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruled that elected officials — both on the state and federal levels — have "the authority to regulate abortion." Some conservative-led states have quickly enacted restrictions while progressive legislatures and governors adopted protections guaranteeing access to the procedure. Another raft of bills is emerging as state legislatures gavel in their 2023 sessions.

But the focus increasingly is on the judicial system. At least 14 states have ongoing litigation in which providers, clinics and other groups are challenging state bans and restrictions, according to a new brief from the Kaiser Family Foundation. 

It will "most likely" be up to each state's highest court to decide on the constitutionality of bans and the legal availability of abortion care, per the KFF brief, which notes providers in many cases are arguing that the rights of their patients – not necessarily their own – are being infringed.

"We will use all tools" to protect abortion access, including taking the legislative and judicial routes, said Helene Krasnoff, vice president of public policy litigation and law for Planned Parenthood Action Fund, at a press call last week.

Abortion rights advocates maintain Roe and other Supreme Court precedents were never enough to guarantee nationwide access.

"Roe was the floor, we need to get to the ceiling," wrote Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in a recent Teen Vogue op-ed.

Johnson added that "we have to make sure our rights don’t ebb and flow with every election cycle," and suggested that the goal is to ultimately amend the U.S. Constitution to guarantee abortion access.

Between the lines: That's proven extremely difficult, as evidenced by the Equal Rights Amendment — which is designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all Americans regardless of sex but has been dogged by political controversy and  legal uncertainty for decades. 

State of play: Anti-abortion activists gathered in the District of Columbia on Friday for the first post-Roe March for Life. Now that Dobbs is the law of the land, the anti-abortion movement is focused on "the next steps in a post-Roe era," House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said at the rally.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, said in a recent press call that the "brand new pro-life movement" will revolve around passing new state abortion bans and restrictions, urging the House of Representatives to pass federal restrictions and pressing 2024 presidential candidates to openly oppose abortion.

Yes, but: The future of the anti-abortion movement remains somewhat unclear now that its main goal — overturning Roe v. Wade — has been achieved. In fact, divisions are forming within its ranks between those that want to prosecute pregnant people who get abortions and those who do not. 

"The struggle has changed," Marion Landry, who attended the March for Life, told AP. There is no "central focus anymore," she added.

What we're watching: The House recently passed its first post-Roe anti-abortion bill, and some Republican House lawmakers suggested at the March for Life that they will vote on at least one more piece of anti-abortion legislation. 

Whatever passes will likely die in the Senate, where Democrats remain in control.

Zoom out: Amid the legislative jockeying, the Biden administration has taken steps to assert federal protections around aspects of reproductive health, including specifying that abortion care is protected in emergency care settings and guaranteeing insurance coverage of birth control.

President Biden said Friday that the Dobbs decision "put the health and lives of women across this nation at risk," adding that his administration "is resolute in its commitment to defending reproductive rights."

Investigators for the Department of Justice discovered six items containing classified document markings during a 13-hour search on Friday of President Biden's Delaware home, according to a statement from Bob Bauer, the president's personal attorney.

Driving the news: The search, which Bauer said took place at the invitation of the president's personal attorneys, uncovered documents that were from Biden's time as vice president and senator. 

DOJ asked that the search remain private until after it took place, “in accordance with its standard procedures, and we agreed to cooperate,” Bauer said.

Neither the president nor the first lady was at the Wilmington residence at the time, according to Richard Sauber, a member of the White House Counsel’s Office.

The big picture: Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Jan. 12 that he was appointing Robert Hur as special counsel to lead the investigation into the handling of the documents that have been uncovered.

The appointment of Hur, former U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland, is designed to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. The move comes as former President Trump faces a separate special counsel inquiry over his hoarding of hundreds of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.

Key details regarding the volume of documents, methods of discovery and reaction by Biden and Trump distinguish the two cases.

But the discovery has led to widespread fallout for the sitting president as Republicans have seized on the records to accuse Biden of hypocrisy.

“There is no there there,” Biden had said on Thursday evening, reiterating that his team followed protocol for turning over uncovered documents to the appropriate government agencies.

What they're saying: "Yesterday, DOJ completed a thorough search of all the materials in the President’s Wilmington home. It began at approximately 9:45 AM and concluded at around 10:30 PM and covered all working, living and storage spaces in the home," Bauer said in the statement. 

"DOJ had full access to the President’s home, including personally handwritten notes, files, papers, binders, memorabilia, to-do lists, schedules and reminders going back decades," the statement continued.

"DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President. DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice-presidential years."

A potential default on the federal debt "would impose a self-imposed calamity in the United States and the world economy," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in an interview with AP Saturday.

Driving the news: Yellen said she expects that Congress will eventually vote to raise the debt limit, after the Treasury Department announced this week that the U.S. has reached its $31.4 trillion debt ceiling.

Catch up quick: Yellen on Friday ruled out a potential proposal from House Republicans that calls for triaging payments after the exhaustion of "extraordinary measures" to avoid default.

What she's saying: When asked about potential demands from the GOP for spending cuts in exchange for backing a higher debt limit, Yellen called the position "a very irresponsible thing to do" and said it could have serious consequences even before "the day of reckoning."

"It is possible for markets to become quite concerned about whether or not the U.S. will pay its bills," she told AP, highlighting the negative economic impacts of the 2011 debt showdown.

At least two Democratic senators have openly called for an investigation into President Biden for his mishandling of classified documents from when he was vice president.

The big picture: The senators aren't alone. About two-thirds of Americans favor such an investigation, with a majority of Democrats supporting the idea, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has already appointed a special counsel — former U.S. attorney Robert Hur — to handle an investigation into Biden’s mishandling of documents, which were recently discovered at his Delaware home and his former office.

Driving the news: Both Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) told Fox News Digital they would be open to investigating Biden over the matter.

"The reports about President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents are extremely irresponsible and disturbing. These allegations should be investigated fully,” Manchin told Fox News.

Kaine told Fox News that the classified documents situation “raises serious questions and the appointment of an unbiased special prosecutor to investigate the matter is the right step.”

The other side: Biden said last week the probe into classified records will reveal that "there's nothing there,” Axios reports.

The president said he is "fully cooperating and looking forward to getting this resolved quickly."

By the numbers: A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll found that about two-thirds of Americans are in favor of Congress “investigating the classified documents found at [President] Biden’s home and post-vice-presidential office."

Overall, 64% of U.S. adults support the investigation, with 52% of Democrats feeling the same.

Only 16% of Americans, including 27% of Democrats, oppose an investigation.

These numbers are welcome news for House Republicans, who have already called for the Biden administration to turn over any information about the documents, including visitor logs from the president's home.

Methodology: The Yahoo News/YouGov poll surveyed 1,538 U.S. adults from Jan. 12 to Jan. 16. The margin of error is approximately 2.7%.

TEL AVIV — Over 100,000 people across Israel on Saturday rallied against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government amid growing anger over the ruling coalition's plans to weaken the Supreme Court and other democratic institutions. 

Why it matters: It's one of the biggest shows of public protest against an Israeli government in years. It also comes amid an unprecedented standoff between the government and the judiciary.
