Description:
House Republicans are pushing forward with a bill that would mandate the Chinese company ByteDance sell TikTok or risk the app's ban in the United States. Trump acknowledges the security risks but argued that a ban would only inflate Facebook's influence, which he associates with negative impacts on the country, particularly in election matters. TikTok, with about 170 million U.S. users, is a significant platform for reaching younger voters, a demographic both parties aim to attract. The bill is expected to pass in the House and require at least 60 votes in the Senate. President Biden is expected to sign it into law, if passed.
