According to BlockBeats, major Democratic donors on Wall Street are intensifying their efforts to urge Vice President Kamala Harris's team to replace Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler if they win the November election.Sources familiar with the matter revealed that during calls and fundraising events with Harris's team, these wealthy donors have repeatedly criticized Khan, accusing her of hindering the development of the tech industry and other economic sectors. The discussions about replacing Khan have become more intense since IAC Chairman Barry Diller and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman publicly called for her removal in July.Additionally, some insiders noted that donors from both parties are dissatisfied with Gensler, perceiving his attitude towards Wall Street as arrogant. Billionaire Mark Cuban told CNBC this week that he has asked the Vice President's team to consider him for the SEC Chair position.Despite the ongoing private lobbying, donors are unlikely to stop their contributions over the issue of Khan's tenure. Harris's team has not made a clear stance on Khan's position to the donors. FTC spokesperson Douglas Farrar declined to comment, while an SEC spokesperson stated that their initiatives are aimed at enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and resilience of the U.S. capital markets.
