NEW YORK (AP) — House Republicans are moving ahead with a bill that would require Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the United States even as former President Donald Trump is voicing opposition to the effort.
House leadership has scheduled a vote on the measure for Wednesday. A vote for the bill would represent an unusual break with the former president by House Republicans, but Speaker Mike Johnson and others had already forcefully come out in favor of the bill last week. Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, says he’s still confident the bill is “going to sail” in the House.
