Both are known for expansive views of the antitrust laws and advocacy of forceful enforcement, particularly against technology companies. The president has not yet announced nominees for the most critical antitrust enforcement positions — assistant attorney general for antitrust or FTC chairman — and may choose centrists or more progressives. Regardless, the president’s choices of Mr. Wu and Ms. Khan signal that antitrust could play an even greater role in policy-making and enforcement decisions than during the Trump administration. Meanwhile, recent bipartisan congressional calls for antitrust reform suggest the president could support legislative change. (See “Congressional Investigative Priorities Emerge.”)
