The Biden campaign has made a controversial move by launching its official TikTok account, despite concerns over the Chinese-owned social media platform's potential national security risks. This decision has sparked a heated debate among politicians from both sides of the aisle.
Leading the opposition to the campaign's decision is Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, who chairs the House Select Committee on China. Gallagher asserts that every key Biden national security official, including the Director of National Intelligence, the CIA Director, the DIA Director, and the head of Cyber Command, has deemed TikTok a national security threat. He further stresses that the FBI Director, Chris Wray, recently warned that the parent company of TikTok is closely tied to the Chinese government, making it a significant concern for the United States.
