Republicans Appoint Scott Fitzgerald as Antitrust Subcommittee Chair Amid Criticism of Biden’s FTC Policies

In a notable development within the U.S. legislative landscape, Republicans are positioning Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., as the head of the House of Representatives’ antitrust subcommittee. This move is being perceived as an assertive strategy, given Fitzgerald’s vocal criticism of President Joe Biden’s Federal Trade Commission policies. The appointment, announced by Rep. Jim Jordan, underscores a potential shift in antitrust oversight and regulatory priorities within the House according to a report on Law360. This change is expected to attract attention from various stakeholders interested in competition law and its enforcement at the federal level.
