WASHINGTON (AP) — More than two dozen Democratic members of Congress who are active on TikTok, including Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, are now facing questions about whether they’ll continue to use it. Many are defending their presence on the platform, saying they have a responsibility as public officials to meet voters they wouldn’t otherwise reach. Yet the lawmakers active on TikTok remain in the distinct minority. Most in Congress are in favor of limiting the app, forcing a sale to remove connections to China or even banning it outright. Loud warnings about TikTok have also been coming from President Joe Biden’s administration.
