The TikTok ban deadline is Jan. 19, one day before Inauguration Day.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday called on his Senate colleagues to extend the deadline for a U.S. ban of popular social media app TikTok, saying there is still time to come to a “workable solution.”
Sen. Schumer, however, said in a press release Democrats are fighting to find a different solution and called on his colleagues to consider extending the deadline. Senate Democrats, he said, attempted to pass a bill to extend the deadline, which was shot down by Republicans. He warned “time is running short” in the fight to save the app.
“I have made my views clear to the current administration,” he added. “And, I will work with the Trump Administration and with both parties to keep TikTok alive while protecting our national security.”
