VisitTrump Expresses Support for TikTok, Won Youth by 34 Points, Signals Review of Ban Set for January 19
Dec 16, 2024, 05:19 PM
President-elect Donald Trump expressed a favorable view of TikTok, stating, "I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok," during a recent press interaction. He indicated that he would consider reviewing a potential ban on the app, which is set to take effect on January 19, 2024. Trump attributed part of his electoral success to TikTok, claiming he won the youth vote by 34 percentage points and suggesting that the platform played a role in engaging younger voters. His comments mark a notable shift from his previous hard-line stance against the app during his presidency, when concerns about its Chinese ownership were prevalent. The odds of a TikTok ban occurring before May 2024 have reportedly decreased to 38% following his remarks, reflecting a potential change in policy direction under his administration.
