AOC and Sanders Defend FTC Chair Lina Khan Amid Calls for Her Removal

Billionaire Mark Cuban and other Harris backers urge a leadership change, sparking backlash from progressive leaders.

Mark Cuban, a prominent supporter of Kamala Harris, suggests she replace FTC Chair Lina Khan if elected president, criticizing Khan's approach to regulating AI and Big Tech.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders strongly defend Khan, warning of a 'brawl' if billionaires influence her removal, highlighting Khan's role in fighting corporate monopolies.
Khan has been praised for her antitrust efforts against major corporations, including actions against tech giants and pharmacy benefit managers for anti-competitive practices.
The debate over Khan's future reflects a broader divide within the Democratic Party between pro-business interests and progressive advocates for stricter corporate regulation.
Kamala Harris has not publicly stated her position on Khan's leadership, leaving her future at the FTC uncertain amidst pressure from both business leaders and progressives.
