She acknowledged the app's role as an income source for individuals and a platform for sharing information.
While Harris and President Biden have expressed reservations about TikTok's owner, they have not indicated a ban on the platform. The administration sees the app's utility and the enjoyment it brings to many users. Both Harris and Biden have participated in TikTok videos, despite their stated concerns.
Regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's potential military action in Rafah, Harris cautioned against any major invasion, labeling it a significant error.

Harris hinted at potential consequences if Netanyahu proceeded with the invasion.
The president has signaled his willingness to sign a bipartisan bill addressing TikTok's national security implications if it passes through Congress. Harris reiterated the administration's position on TikTok and its owner, emphasizing the need to address security concerns while recognizing the app's popularity and functionality.
