Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was noncommittal on whether the Senate would vote on the House bill, telling reporters on Tuesday, “I’ll have to consult, and intend to consult, with my relevant committee chairmen to see what their views would be.”

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., and leading Republican, Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said they were "encouraged" by the bipartisan House vote in a joint statement Wednesday, adding that they'll work together "to get this bill passed through the Senate and signed into law.”

Another key chair, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., who leads the Senate Commerce Committee, said, “I’m not sure what we’ll do yet, got to talk to lots of people.”

“The whole point here is you have a dilemma,” Cantwell said. “You want free speech, but you also want the United States to have some ability to protect US citizens or U.S. military from foreign actors who might be deleterious in what they would be using as a tool of communication. So we want to get a tool to those people, whether that’s the Department of Commerce or DOJ so that they can sustain those actions.”

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill, the Judiciary Committee chair, acknowledged that a ban on TikTok may not be politically beneficial for President Joe Biden’s re-election in November. The Biden campaign joined TikTok last month to meet voters "where they are," though the president has said he would sign the ban legislation if it passes both chambers of Congress.

“Cutting out a large group of young voters is not the best-known strategy for reelection,” Durbin said.

“They love TikTok, I know that from my own grandkids and others. And it’s part of their lifestyle and they don’t want to lose it,” he added.

TikTok has warned about "the impact on the economy, 7 million small businesses, and the 170 million Americans who use our service," calling the bill a "ban" that was "was jammed through" the House.
