Logged in users weren't being correctly redirected and therefore after a successful request to GET /api/users/me the user would receive a blank page.
Resolution
When an already logged in user navigates to base URL, the useEffect hook in App.js verified if user is already logged in but no action was taken after updated user state. Added in useNavigate hook to redirect user to either the base URL or to their desired destination URL upon successful request to GET /api/users/me.
