"Under a law supported by members of both Democrats and Republicans, signed by Joe Biden, ByteDance is required to sell TikTok by Jan. 19, 2025—one day before Trump’s inauguration—or face a ban in the U.S."
TikTok argues that the law is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment, and that it is “not possible technologically, commercially, or legally” to divest in the time given.
The date that Biden signed off on ByteDance being required to sell places Trump in a precarious position with less than 24 hours ahead of his inauguration; but deadlines have never stopped the President-elect before.
MAGA conservatives argue that TikTok helped win the U.S. Presidential election for Trump among young voters due to widespread trends causing millennials and Gen Z to support the McDonald's-loving icon.

Immediately following President Trump's 2024 election night win, students at Auburn University in Alabama gathered to sing the National Anthem, which went viral on the social media platform.
Fox News headlined an article: "Trump won over Gen Z men by being the 'assertive, outspoken' candidate they needed, YouTuber says."
The story continued, "[There has been a] change in America's youngest male voting bloc, a change that aided in the red wave that washed over the U.S. in the 2024 election. He says their hunger for a strong, tenacious leader drove them to the ballot box for Trump.
Meanwhile, liberal women who are angry with the election results are shaving their heads and posting videos of the act to TikTok.
