Antitrust Policy in the Democratic Platform
As the Democratic Party prepares for the 2024 elections, their platform reveals a strong dedication to antitrust issues with a notable emphasis on competition. The term 'competition' appears 18 times in the latest version, versus only nine mentions in 2020.
Key Areas of Focus
- Tackling junk fees
- Addressing noncompete clauses and their impact
- The Federal Trade Commission's role under Lina Khan
The changes in the platform signal to Vice President Kamala Harris and the party that they are prioritizing competition and regulation in the business landscape, bolstering support against high-profile billionaires advocating for a more lenient approach.
