AOC tweeted in response to Mark Cuban saying Harris shouldn't keep Khan on as chair of the FTC. AdvertisementRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made it clear that when it comes to economic regulation, Vice President Kamala Harris can't please everyone. AOC took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to respond to comments from billionaire and Harris surrogate Mark Cuban. AdvertisementThroughout the election, Harris has leaned on her California roots to woo business and tech leaders, including Cuban, Reid Hoffman, and Laurene Powell Jobs. Should Harris win the election in less than a month, it remains unclear how she'll handle the looming Khan question.
