WASHINGTON — Joe Biden’s re-election campaign plans to continue using TikTok for at least the next year, despite the president signing a law Wednesday that would ban the social media platform nationwide if its China-based parent company doesn’t sell it in that time frame.
“A fragmented media environment requires us to show up and meet voters where they are — and that includes online,” a Biden campaign official told NBC News. “TikTok is one of many places we’re making sure our content is being seen by voters.”
