According to Tik Tok, one out of every 3 people in the US used their app last month. That's more people than will vote in November. Banning a social media platform bigger than twitter less than 100 days from the election would make winning impossible. I'm hoping that Trump was just planning to use this to apply pressure to sell, because I can't imagine a scenario where this works well for his campaign and we can not risk a loss in November, especially over Tik Tok.

On the other hand, banning Tik Tok who's majority of users are probably not of voting age could have possibly helped the campaign. Parents secretly happy that their kid is no longer using that stupid app and the President can be the bad guy instead of having them have to actually parent.
