Rep. Mike Waltz (R- Fla. ) has been nominated as President-elect Donald Trump's National Security Advisor .

Waltz is a congressional crusader against the use of the app to campaign for office.

In 2023 , Waltz bashed Biden administration’s use of influencer outreach to court TikTok voices on the app.

Trump, in 2024 , firmly reversed course on banning TikTok , even campaigning under the auspices of saving it.
