According to TechFlow, Bloomberg reported on September 7 that major Democratic donors on Wall Street asked U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' team to replace FTC Chairman Lina Khan and SEC Chairman Gary Gensler after they may win the November election.

According to people familiar with the matter, these donors have repeatedly named Khan in calls with Harris' team and fundraisers, accusing him of hindering the development of the technology industry and other economic sectors. Since IAC Chairman Barry Diller and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman publicly called for Khan's ouster in July, private replacement discussions have intensified.

Some people familiar with the matter said that donors from both parties are also dissatisfied with Gensler, who they believe is arrogant towards Wall Street. Billionaire Mark Cuban told CNBC this week that he had asked the vice president's team to consider him for the SEC chairmanship.

Although donors may continue to lobby privately, they are unlikely to stop donating because of Khan's stay. Harris has not made clear to donors about Khan's position. FTC spokesman Douglas Farrar declined to comment, while an SEC spokesman said its projects are improving the efficiency, transparency and resilience of the U.S. capital markets.
