LinkedIn founder asks Kamala Harris to remove Lina Khan
Billionaire Reid Hoffman is facing sharp criticism for urging Vice President Kamala Harris to replace Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan if she wins the presidency.
Hoffman is the founder of LinkedIn and a major donor to the Democratic Party.
He claims Khan’s aggressive stance on corporate concentration harms businesses and consumers.
Progressive figures like Senator Bernie Sanders and adviser Faiz Shakir say Hoffman’s demand highlights the need to address big money’s influence in politics.
They accuse him of trying to sway Harris to be softer on corporate power.
Critics, including Nidhi Hegde from the American Economic Liberties Project, argue that Khan’s work supports workers and small businesses.
With Hoffman pledging continued financial support to Harris, questions are emerging about her stance on antitrust issues.
As Harris prepares for the November election, her relationship with Big Tech and her antitrust policies remain under scrutiny.
Hoffman had given more than $8.6 million to organizations supporting President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race.
According to The Information, Hoffman has convinced Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings to donate $7 million to a super PAC supporting Harris.
