White House is withdrawing its nomination of Ryan Baasch to be FTC commissioner; Baasch to become deputy director of the White House NEC instead.

The withdrawal of Ryan Baasch's FTC commissioner nomination and his appointment as deputy director of the White House NEC signals a strategic shift in the administration’s approach to regulatory oversight. This could imply a softer stance on antitrust issues, affecting sectors sensitive to regulatory changes and possibly leading to a re-evaluation of certain corporate strategies moving forward.
