Donald Trump is taking action to pause the upcoming TikTok ban.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor President-elect Donald Trump believes he can cut a deal that would keep TikTok legal — while addressing the U.S. government’s national security concerns. TikTok, under a law passed this year, faces a looming deadline that will make the video app illegal in the U.S.

Sixteen Republicans voted against the bill, but not because of the transgender health restrictions.Senate Democrats attacked the provision, but failed to get it removed from the bill, which ultimately passed by a vote of 85-14.Despite facing pressure from LGBTQ advocacy groups, Biden signed the bill into law, unwilling to give Republicans a line of attack against Democrats that might brand them as insufficiently supportive of the military.The bill, with the ban on transition-related care intact, is the first piece of anti-LGBTQ legislation to pass both chambers of Congress since the now-defunct “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was first introduced in 1993.
