Allred is the delegation’s most prolific user of the app. He said he voted for the legislation because of national security concerns.
His brown boots were from the brand Thursday. His navy slacks were from Bonobos. And his shirt? “Who knows?” he laughed with his wife, as he mimicked a popular trend on the app where users share their outfits of the day.
“TikTok is the only reason I heard of you before the primaries. Why would you vote to ban it? That is so disappointing,” wrote another user named “Stardust and Serendipity.” Escobar, who voted for the bill as well, has only posted three times in 2023. She’s occasionally featured in Allred’s videos. She did not respond to request for comment.
One Republican who opposes the TikTok legislation is former U.S. Rep. Mayra Flores of Los Indios – who has 42,000 followers and is running this November to unseat Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-McAllen. She noted that it’s been a powerful tool in connecting with voters as she campaigns for reelection.“A lot of young people as well have reached out to me and saying, ‘Hey, thank you, thanks for being on this platform,” she said in an interview. “They felt that they only saw, you know, people on the left, and that it was refreshing to see somebody with conservative views. Views that they shared on this platform.
"I'm not a prolific TikTok user,” Casar said in an interview. “But we do use TikTok and it is a good way for us to inform especially younger people"
