Uh, it's more like they spent several years working on it and it happens to be an election year when its published.

> [1] The final rule announced today follows an advance notice of proposed rulemaking and a notice of proposed rulemaking announced in November 2022 and June 2023, respectively. The FTC also held an informal hearing on the proposed rule in February 2024.
