WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The Supreme Court decided not to stop a law that is set to ban TikTok this Sunday. 

On Friday, the high court issued a ruling upholding the law that Congress passed to require TikTok to be sold to a U.S. owner or face a ban on January 19th. 

The original law passed with an overwhelming bipartisan majority of support. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) says that’s because lawmakers agreed that it is a national security risk for Chinese company ByteDance to own the popular app. 

“The best way for TikTok to continue to exist is for it to be sold,” Hawley said. 

So far, ByteDance has declined to sell with the deadline just days away. 

President Joe Biden says it will be up to the incoming president to choose how to move forward. 

“The decision is going to be made by the next president anyways,” Biden said. 

President-elect Donald Trump has suggested he wants to save TikTok. 

Following the Supreme Court ruling he posted on his Truth Social, “My decision on TikTok will be made in the not too distant future, but I must have time to review the situation. Stay tuned!”

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he wants to see President Trump act to stop the ban. 

“I don’t think the battle is over yet though. I’m hopeful that President Trump in coming in can have some ability.” Paul said. 

The original law does give the president the authority to delay the ban by 90 days, but it’s unclear if President-elect Trump can use that power because the app is set to be banned the day before the inauguration.

Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) predicts that this will happen. 

“I think that an extension time is likely, and I also think the sale is likely,” Blumenthal said. 

TikTok CEO Shou Chew expressed optimism that President-elect Trump will save the app. 

“I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to work with us to find a solution that keeps TikTok available in the United States,” Chew said. 

Chew is expected to attend Trump’s inauguration on Monday.
