Legislation to ban TikTok if its China-based owner doesn't sell its stake gets major boost, giving extended time for divestment to ensure a buyer.
Senate Commerce Committee Chairwoman supports extending divestment period, allowing nine months with a possible three-month extension for TikTok sale.
If passed, the TikTok legislation signifies a rare bipartisan effort against a single company, driven by concern for Chinese threats and limited use within Congress.
Opponents argue that the ban could be unconstitutional, possibly leading to legal challenges despite widespread bipartisan support.
