They have until January 19th to divest, with a 90-day extension if they are pursuing sale. They aren’t mandating that it be done by November’s election regardless of the outcome.

Seriously, going through these comments, it's clear most people didn't read the article or didn't learn how calendars work in school (or are part of the Russian Internet Research Agency and trying to sow doubt in Biden).

Based on the timeline, it's clear the intention wasn't to protect against the 2024 election, since the potential ban would go in place after the election happens.

Exactly. It has no bearing on the election, and Biden doesn’t have a choice. If he didn’t sign a bill with near-unanimous bipartisan support, it would immediately be called out as a personal agenda “secretly helping China” or something similar.
