Harris sidesteps question on why Biden campaign is using TikTok amid security concerns

Vice President Kamala Harris sidestepped addressing why the 2024 Biden-Harris campaign is using TikTok, even though the Biden administration has cautioned about the security risks of the platform.

While appearing on This Week on Sunday, Harris was asked why the campaign is still posting content onto the platform even after President Joe Biden stated earlier this month that he would sign the House bill against TikTok should it ever reach his desk, which would require the popular social media platform to either divest itself from its Chinese parent company ByteDance or risk getting banned in the United States. The vice president stated that the intent of this bill would not be to ban TikTok, and that the administration’s security concerns stem from its owner.
