President-elect Joe Biden will nominate Gary Gensler to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission and Rohit Chopra to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to media reports.
Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal both reported the nominations Sunday night
Gensler is the former commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and is a former partner at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS, -2.23%.
Chopra currently serves on the Federal Trade Commission, and as an ally of Sen. Elizabeth Warren formerly worked as student-loan watchdog at the CFPB.
Both nominations signal the Biden administration’s significantly tougher stance toward Wall Street than it faced from the Trump administration.
