The U.S. election could increase congressional scrutiny of technology mergers and acquisitions, with political oversight likely to matter more than changes to antitrust law.

Democratic control of Congress could bring additional hearings and subpoenas, along with external pressure on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The forecast concerns tech mergers broadly; it does not identify a particular transaction.
