A renewed push against the TikTok gained momentum in Congress last week, as the House approved legislation that would compel the company to either sell the app or be banned from U.S. app stores.

And lawmakers in the House widely seem to agree, as the legislation saw significant bipartisan support just last week. But whether the Senate agrees remains to be seen.
