Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior advisor to Barack Obama, has criticized Republicans over their push to ban TikTok, a Chinese social media app that has aroused national security concerns.

“The Republicans see the issue as a win-win. If Biden doesn’t ban TikTok, they can paint him as soft on China. If Biden does ban TikTok, he risks alienating the young voters who put him over the top in 2020,” Pfeiffer wrote on Twitter on March 24. “Per usual from the GOP, it’s bad faith BS.”
