Mike Pence group launches $2 million ad campaign pressuring Senate to pass TikTok ban

Former Vice President Mike Pence’s policy group is pressuring Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to advance legislation that would force the Chinese-backed company ByteDance to divest from TikTok in a new $2 million ad campaign being launched this week.

Advancing America’s Freedom, a conservative advocacy group founded by Pence, debuted the 30-second ad on Tuesday featuring Schumer’s own comments against TikTok. The ad is set to air on TV and on digital platforms across several swing states such as Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
