Biden admin 'exploring options' and the app might not be gone Sunday - If the administration stops the ban, the issue would be adjudicated by the incoming Trump administration

The Biden administration is currently exploring various options regarding the potential ban of TikTok, following a bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives that could lead to a nationwide prohibition of the app unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divests its interest.
