The legislation received wide bipartisan support, with both Republicans and Democrats showing an eagerness to appear tough on China.

The House on Wednesday passed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to either sell the hugely popular video app or be banned in the United States.

Republican leaders fast-tracked the bill through the House with limited debate, and it passed on a lopsided vote of 352-65, reflecting widespread backing for legislation that would take direct aim at China in an election year.

    My rep is a Democrat, I won’t vote Republican next election but I won’t vote for my rep again. I don’t even use Tik Tok.

        Fuck anyone who tries to tell me how to vote. I am highly unlikely to ever vote GOP again but if the Democrat representing me doesn’t do what I want I won’t vote for them.
