Senate Intelligence Committee Acting Chairman Marco Rubio said Sunday that a proposal from software maker Oracle to invest in a restructured TikTok may still be problematic if the Chinese government controls some of the coding mechanisms. "I think Oracle worked really hard to put together the best deal possible," Rubio said. "There can be something embedded in that code that sends it the other way." The senator added that Oracle has claimed it is aware of the potential for that kind of activity and believes it can prevent it, but nonetheless called for caution. Turning to the presidential election, Rubio said that the margin for a win in his home state will be "a one-point [or] half-point state in one direction."
