A group of 18 Republican lawmakers is calling on President Joe Biden to take his 2024 reelection campaign off of the Chinese-controlled TikTok social media app, raising concerns that his use of the app poses a national security risk.
“TikTok endangers national security, and this concern is aggravated by the platform’s appeal to young people in the United States. We therefore urge you to delete your account and set a better example for the American people by restating that TikTok is a national security threat,” reads the Feb. 16 letter to President Biden.
