Senator Cramer recently shared his insights on the potential ban of TikTok in the United States and President Joe Biden’s proposal for an $8 billion 'Climate Corps' program. Speaking on the TikTok ban, Senator Cramer acknowledged the House's efforts and highlighted the need for action, stating, “Eliminating TikTok, or at least making TikTok an American company, will not rob anybody of their First Amendment rights. It'll just help secure the United States of America.” He also mentioned the potential U.S. buyers for TikTok, emphasizing the importance of balancing the sale process with national security concerns regarding data privacy.

Regarding President Biden’s Climate Corps proposal, Senator Cramer expressed concerns about the allocation of tax dollars towards 50,000 climate activists, stating, “The last thing the country needs are 50,000 more climate activists being paid by tax dollars, that we can’t afford in a workforce that’s already constrained.” He questioned the necessity of additional positions in an already incentivized field and raised doubts about the effectiveness of such a large-scale initiative.

The discussions on both the TikTok ban and the Climate Corps program reflect Senator Cramer’s reservations and considerations regarding national security, economic constraints, and government-funded initiatives in the environmental sector.
