Team Biden makes a desperate move to target young voters.
According to a Fox News report, President Joe Biden’s reelection team is weighing whether or not the POTUS should join Chinese-owned TikTok to reach younger voters.
The decision comes after Biden’s administration banned the app from being used on federal devices earlier this year.
From Fox News:
The Biden administration set a 30-day deadline in late February for government agencies to purge the app from federal devices.
The Chinese-owned social media platform is incredibly popular among younger Americans. Biden has joined forces with TikTok influencers amid his re-election run, and the Democratic National Committee itself joined the platform.
However, the president’s campaign joining the Beijing-based social media platform could present unique security risks for Biden.
Most notably, the Chinese Communist Party’s cybersecurity law allows government authorities to access companies’ data.

The Biden campaign pointed to a social media post published by spokesperson TJ Ducklo, who appeared to confirm that the campaign had at least discussed the possibility. Responding to the report on X, Ducklo wrote, “[laugh out loud] this is not a scoop.”
“Campaigns talk about a bunch of stuff and some we do and a bunch we don’t,” Ducklo wrote.
“If we have news to share we’ll let yall know!” Ducklo added.
