Harris joins TikTok despite Biden signing bill potentially banning it
Harris's campaign officially joined TikTok, and the first post already has more than 2.6 million views.
"Well I've heard that recently I've been on the 'For You Page,' so I thought I'd get on here myself," she said in the post.
Since President Biden's endorsement of Harris' candidacy, the @KamalaHQ account on TikTok has more than tripled (almost quadrupled) its following – growing from 440K followers to over 1.7 million followers.
But the campaign has faced criticism over its presence on TikTok after the Senate passed a bill that Biden signed into law requiring TikTok's Chinese parent company to sell or the app would be banned.
According to the measure, ByteDance must divest TikTok within a nine-month window from when the bill was signed into law in April.
In March, Harris responded to the criticism from TikTok users stating "We need to deal with the owner and we have national security concerns about the owner of TikTok, but we have no intention to ban TikTok."
