Jeff is my rep and I think he's represented my district incredibly well, he's the only politician I've ever been excited to vote for. He's also former military and is on an armed forces committee as well as science, space, and technology. I would guess that his vote for a TikTok ban was along the lines of the military's suggestion that it is a serious security concern. Likewise the bill had 155 Dems and 197 GOP votes, so I'd hardly call it a party betrayal

voting hand in hand with that many self-serving people is not evidence of doing the right thing.
