IMO this points to inevitable consolidation. Uber and Lyft will merge at some point. As long as traditional taxis still exist and/or there is a Republican administration, it should clear antitrust.

What does the republican administration have to do with this?

I think both sides would agree that Republican administrations are usually more business-friendly/less inclined to regulate.

I think that makes sense, I just don't understand what that would mean a republican administration mean there is more clearly antitrust

The original post was saying that "it [the merger] should clear antitrust" - i.e. the merger would be approved (cleared).
