Trump appoints Brendan Carr as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Brendan Carr as the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Carr, a senior Republican and longtime member of the FCC, has been confirmed by the Senate three times. Carr has previously served as the FCC's general counsel and aligns with Trump's views on social media and technology. He has been involved in conservative initiatives, including a plan to reform federal agencies. The FCC currently has a Democratic majority of 3-2, which will change next year when Trump can appoint a new member.
