WASHINGTON -- Voters won't be considering Lina Khan when they go to the polls in November. But who they elect to the White House will decide whether her progressive experiment in antitrust policing survives.

Khan, the 35-year-old chair of the Federal Trade Commission, has been one of President Biden's most prominent agency leaders. As a young academic, she built a surprisingly robust following around a tract that argued antitrust enforcers had shrunk from their duty to restrain corporate power, while companies such as Amazon.com exploited the opportunity to build unchallenged monopolies.
