US House to vote on TikTok crackdown; fate uncertain in Senate
Mar 12, 2024 4:09 PM

March 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives

plans to vote on a bill Wednesday that would give TikTok's

Chinese owner ByteDance about six months to divest the short

video app used by 170 million Americans or face a ban.

The vote is expected around 10 a.m. under fast-track rules

that will require two-thirds of House members to support the

measure for passage. Some opponents of the legislation,

including Democratic Representative Maxwell Frost, think the

bill will pass. But the fate of the legislation is uncertain in

the U.S. Senate, where some senators want to take a different

approach.
