President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday named Brendan Carr, the author of the Federal Communications Commission section in Project 2025 and the senior Republican on the FCC, to run the agency that regulates interstate and international communications over TV, cable and Internet.
Carr has served on the FCC for years and was nominated to the commission by both Trump and President Joe Biden, but his pick to run the agency was met with scrutiny from the left, as he’s one of the authors of the Project 2025 document that outlines how Trump and the GOP purportedly plan to upend the federal government.
