Scripps News spoke with Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, about TikTok and national security.
It’s a story you heard a lot of this week: the possible ban of TikTok in the United States.
Scripps News’ Joe St. George sat down with Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, to discuss the national security threat from the social media app.
Warner is a supporter of the legislation that would require ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, to divest within 6 months or face a ban in the U.S.
St. George asked Warner if he is pushing for a vote in the Senate.
“Absolutely, the fact it got 352 votes in the House, all across the political spectrum, I think it shows the importance of this issue,” Warner said.
