The Federal Trade Commission may be looking to strike a deal with Microsoft over the Activision Blizzard acquisition, according to the New York Post.
The Post's sources say that the four-member commission is split on whether to approve the deal, with its sole Republican member and one of its three Democrats leaning toward approving it.
And while the Post's sources said FTC chair Lina Khan has been pushing to block the merger, they noted that any vote on the issue coming down deadlocked at 2-2 would not only see the merger going through, but would undermine her authority at the FTC.
