Biden Readies a Big Swing at Big Business

December 30, 2023 at 4:00 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“After three years of pushing hard against some of the world’s largest companies, the Biden administration is set to accelerate several of its biggest antitrust fights in 2024 with an intense lineup of lawsuits and investigations,” Politico reports.

“The results will help shape President Joe Biden’s reelection pitch to American voters — and change the government’s relationship with Big Business, possibly for years. The high-profile investigations could lead to lawsuits next year that could change the way people buy groceries and concert tickets, rent apartments and go to the doctor.”
