Rep. Maxwell Frost
Florida representative Maxwell Frost, aged 27, is one of the youngest lawmakers in Congress and also one of the fastest-growing lawmaker accounts on TikTok. Frost, who has publicly opposed a unilateral ban, has posted just 12 videos since joining earlier this year but has already attracted more than 35,000 followers. The majority of Frost’s videos take a serious and somber tone, with the exception of one where he plays the drums with students from the Osceola School of the Arts and another where he gets in a drawn-out argument over steamed vs. toasted bagels.
@repmaxwellfrost I joined the “Bagel Caucus” this morning and laid down the FACTS! Toasted or steamed, both are REAL options to heat a good ole bagel. I can’t lie; the toasted bagel ended up being pretty fire. Shout out to Rep Dan Goldman and his staff for organizing a fun event before votes!
@repmaxwellfrost Yesterday, at my ceremonial swearing in, I got to play with some super talented students from Osceola School of the Arts!
In an interview with Politico last week, Frost said he worried a TikTok ban could have unintended downstream consequences, particularly for small businesses that have come to rely on outreach and brand exposure.
“I’m not for unilaterally banning TikTok,” First said. “There are so many small businesses and content creators, especially young folks, across the country that use the platform for their business. I want to ensure we are doing everything we can to support those content creators.”
