TikTok Ban Bill Passed by House Could Threaten Biden's Re-election

The House passed a bill that could lead to TikTok being banned from US app stores if it passes the Senate and President Joe Biden signs it into law. While Biden seems set to do that, the move could backfire on his already-struggling 2024 reelection campaign. The bill gives any company owned by a 'foreign adversary' 180 days to divest or face a hefty fine and legal action. Pro-TikTok Americans and creators have protested against it, fearing the destruction of their careers. Trump, who previously tried to ban the app, spoke out against the bill, suggesting it could benefit Facebook. With the November election approaching, openly backing the demise of one of the most popular social media apps doesn't seem wise for Biden. The bill's impact could sway young voters and influence the outcome of the election.
