"So far, he hasn't picked anyone to run the Federal Trade Commission or the antitrust division at DOJ," he continued. "I looked at one of the acting directors...[Acting FTC Chair] Rebecca Kelly Slaughter...she's talking a big game, particularly about pharmaceutical mergers...but quietly on the side waiving through giant pharma mergers, and that's signaling to everyone that Biden's not really serious about this, everybody get your deal shoes on, let's go out and buy our competitors."
