Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, who co-sponsored The Internet Innovation and Choice Act with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), wants Biden to pressure Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The top Republican backer of a stalled antitrust bill demanded President Joe Biden take an “active role” in ending the nearly year-long logjam over the bipartisan legislation that cracks down on Big Tech.
Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly hammered out a framework for the appropriations bill on Wednesday – avoiding a government shutdown. However, the details have yet to be finalized before a final vote this week. The companies have also flooded Beltway airwaves with commercials opposing antitrust bills and bought ad space in influential newsletters like Politico Playbook.
Insiders add that there is a major push from lawmakers who support antitrust legislation to include key provisions from other proposed bills seeking to throttle Big Tech. The Post reported that US Rep. Zoe Lofgren — a Democrat who’s one of the most vocal opponents of antitrust bills now winding their way through Congress that would target Big Tech — has a daughter who works on Google’s legal team.
