Trump nominates Brendan Carr as chairman of the FCC

Donald Trump has nominated Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to be its chairman. Carr is known for his support of free speech and aims to reduce regulatory burdens on businesses. Carr is also an author of Project 2025, a governance plan associated with Trump's agenda. Trump has previously distanced himself from this plan due to its unpopularity in polls. The nomination has drawn criticism from some Republicans, who expressed surprise at the choice. Carr's past involvement in partisan activities has not led to any formal investigations.
