President Biden has committed to signing the TikTok bill if it makes it to his desk.
The White House said that the Senate should"move swiftly" to advance a bill that would force Chinese tech company ByteDance to sell social media platform TikTok.The bill's momentum has been slowed in the Senate, which is more divided on the issue and also faces thorny budget negotiations this week to avert a partial government shutdown."We're glad the House took it up. And we urge the Senate to move swiftly on this," Kirby said on ABC's"This Week.
The bill passed in a 352-65 House vote on Wednesday. President Joe Biden, currently on TikTok for his reelection campaign, said he would sign the bill if it passed Congress."Mike and I have had conversations, very positive ones, with different members of the Senate, who are very interested in this bill and who were very surprised by the size or the margin of the overwhelming bipartisan support in the House," said Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Il.
Plus, some upper chamber lawmakers have dragged their heels over the bill rather than wholly embracing it. The TikTok bill has also sparked debate outside of Capitol Hill. GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has voiced his opposition to a potential TikTok ban, a reversal from his stance years ago when he was advocating for the ban when he served as president.
