Sens. Mark Warner and John Thune introduced a bipartisan bill giving Biden greater power to regulate and sanction China-affiliated companies, including social media giant TikTok.
Interest in TikTok-related legislation is high on Capitol Hill for both parties, as TikTok's national security deal being determined by the Committee for Foreign Investment in the United States remains unfinished.
The introduction comes a week after the House Foreign Affairs committee approved of a similar Republican-sponsored bill, the Thune, the No. 2 Senate Republican, told Axios he's confident about the bill's chances because it has "good, strong bipartisan support [from] people in the right positions."
