80% Informative

The Biden administration has been more aggressive than almost any in recent American history in its antitrust efforts.

In the tech sector alone, it has ongoing cases against Apple , Meta , Google and Amazon .

It is unlikely that whoever succeeds Joe Biden will be quite as fervent in their fight against monopolies.

There is no mention of antitrust or antimonopoly efforts or policies on Trump ’s Agenda 47 site or the official RNC platform.

While there was significant antitrust activity on his watch, at times it seemed guided by political whims and personal vendettas.

Without a guiding principle outlined in any official policy document, it's impossible to know what avenues the DOJ and FTC might focus on.
