The House Foreign Affairs Committee voted on March 1 to advance a bill that would empower President Joe Biden to ban the Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok in the United States.

The committee voted 24–16 along party lines, sending the bill to the House floor, where it will need approval by a majority of the chamber before moving to the Senate.
