Shop NowOne of Biden’s top advisers has decided that he has had enough.
Tim Wu, the special assistant to the president for technology and competition policy, has resigned.
His last day will be January 4.
Major Blow
Wu is one of the many former Obama staffers that came to work for Joe Biden.
He is a major advocate of breaking up big business for the influence these companies can hold over politicians.
I say just make lobbying companies and PACs illegal and you don’t have to break up companies.
Wu actually penned a book on the subject called “The Curse of Bigness: Antitrust in the New Gilded Age.”
When he served in the Obama administration, he hold positions on the National Economic Council, the Federal Trade Commission, and the New York attorney general’s office.
The commute between New York and DC has taken its toll, with Wu stating, “There’s a time where the burden on the family is too much. I’ve been feeling the balance has shifted.”
NEC Director Brian Deese stated, “In the last two years, the federal government has moved to not only reverse decades of erosion in antitrust enforcement, but to reignite a great American tradition of presidential leadership on competition policy, harkening to the era of Franklin and Teddy Roosevelt.
“Over the next two years, we will continue to institutionalize bipartisan, pro-competition reforms across agencies to lock in this progress for decades to come.”
Wu’s tasks are being distributed to Elizabeth Kelly from the White House’s National Economic Council, who will take over Wu’s work on technology policy, and Hannah Garden-Monheit, who will take over competition policy.
