Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Thursday asked for an extension on a deadline for a potential TikTok ban to allow time for those who use the app to support their livelihood to find a “workable solution.”

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of whether TikTok should be banned because of its ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
