White House Press Secretary Leavitt Blames Egg Price Surge on Biden Administration

In her first briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed the Biden administration for soaring egg prices, citing policies that led to the culling of millions of chickens. She emphasized the continued inflation affecting groceries and living costs while urging swift Senate confirmation of Trump's nominees to address these issues. The average price of a dozen eggs has increased dramatically, particularly in states like California, where prices may exceed $9 per dozen. The avian flu outbreak has also played a significant role in the disruption of egg supply and subsequent price hikes.
