It’s tempting to view this as “support”, but a simpler explanation is that it was just pragmatic to wait one additional day for the incoming administration to carry out enforcement actions.
That one-day delay was neither a miscarriage of justice nor was it a political statement. It was just timing.
Really, we should ask why on earth congress decided that the 19th of January was the deadline.

Only 25% of democrats want TikTok banned. The Biden admin didn't want to be blamed for shutting down TikTok.
