Democrats and Republicans have found common cause in an otherwise historically polarized Congress: Combating the threat from communist China, starting with an effort to ban social media giant TikTok from the United States.

Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), who chair and co-chair the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), reintroduced bipartisan legislation to ban TikTok from operating in the United States on Feb. 17.
