The U.S. Senate voted in favor of a bill on Tuesday that will ban TikTok in the U.S. unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divests entirely from it.

Voting was lopsided in favor of passing the bill, with just 17 senators voting against it. That vote comes on the heels of the legislation passing the House with a vote of 360-58 on Saturday.

The legislation, if signed by Joe Biden, could mean TikTok’s days are limited in the U.S. as ByteDance has indicated it has no plans to remove itself from the social network it founded.

The bill garnered strong bipartisan support, possibly because it was built into legislation that included a broader foreign-aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan that’s worth $95.3 billion.
