Lina Khan, former chair of the Federal Trade Commission, is gaining popularity among Democrats with potential presidential candidates, many of whom are considering presidential runs. Khan, a private antitrust lawyer at Columbia Law School, has been making constant calls from potential candidates for ideas about remaking the economy. Her focus is on tackling rising costs, affordability, technological changes, and soaring profits for the rich. Khan argues that if he could control the government from US Steel, he could demand proposed mergers and prosecutions, and use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as legal justification for deportations, a powerful tool for progressive governance. Her vision for the next Democrat in the White House is more of an overall strategy rooted in her specialty of excavating forgotten laws and applying them to 21st century companies.
