State AGs play a role in anti trust enforcement. So it’s not over yet.

When has a state AG successfully cancelled a merger? Did any state try to prevent Microsoft and Activision's merger?
Kroger/Albertsons Merger (2024-2025), JetBlue/Spirit Merger (2024), Visa/Plaid Merger (2021), "Capture-and-Kill" Ski Resort Acquisition (2021-2022), Hospital Mergers (Various 2024) are a few.
IIRC these also involved the Feds.
When Feds are not involved, its harder for State AGs to win. Not impossible. And they can slow things down / get concessions.
