Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Khan, whose term expired in September but who has remained in the role, sat down with TechCrunch last June, where she addressed some of those critics, saying: "[If] you are a startup or a founder that is eager for an acquisition as an exit, I would think that a world in which you have six or seven or eight potential suitors is a better world than one where you have just one or two." Ferguson, who was earlier a Congressional aide and Supreme Court clerk, will be "the most America First, and pro-innovation FTC Chair in our Country's History," Trump wrote Tuesday.
