After voting against President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, Thom Tillis was in President Trump’s crosshairs. He is often opposed to Trump’s agenda. At times, it looks like he is a Democrat plant poised to stop the agenda.
President Trump said he wanted someone to primary Tillis and the next day Tillis said he would not seek reelection. His stance on the bill would likely be the end of his career anyway.
His polling was poor before the vote. His freedom index lifetime score is 50% and his session score is 65%. Heritage gave the barely Republican senator a 59% score for his voting record. Conservative Review gives him a 49% (F) Liberty Score.
He’s no loss for North Carolina or the Republican Party.
Hopefully, this bill is wise financially, but it’s always good to trust Donald Trump. He comes through. Some of it is necessary, and Trump needs it to pass. Unfortunately, Congress took out some great provisions based on the advice of a Democrat Parliamentarian.
BREAKING: THOM TILLIS JUST ANNOUNCED HE WILL NOT SEEK RE-ELECTION
This comes just hours after Trump EVISCERATED him.

President Trump wrote on his TruthSocial platform that Tillis loves China-made windmills but not relief from taxes. He wrote another post saying he’d see someone primary him.
Tillis is more dangerous now for the next 18 months.
Good @#$%&*ing riddance, Tillis. And take some of your red-state RINO pals (like Cornyn and Thune) with you!
Time to take out the garbage…. all of it.
He and Burr two despicable piece of trash. During Biden term he did not contest a durn thing. Millions of invaders said nothing, and billions stolen by democrats he says nothing.The sooner he leaves the better.
As a native Tar Heel, I am disgusted by this quintessential RINO representing our state. For years, he and his fellow traveler Richard Burr talked the good talk but consistently sabotaged every effort to return our Nation to Constitutional law. These snakes in the grass are worse than demoncrats!! At least the socialists tell us UP FRONT what they stand… Read more »
He realized the grift was over. I’m sure there will be a book and the media circuit will be clamoring to have him on to back their narrative. He’s always been a squishy piece of garbage. Doing “just enough” to make it look like he’s “fighting” for his constituents.
Wish all the weak-kneed RINOs would quit. We need real patriots in office.
I think Tillis already decided to leave a while ago and is trying to spite Trump on the way out. Of course, his reason to oppose the bill is not because it spends too much, as some conservatives have cited, he wants it to spend more, which is of course the dem position. His Medicaid objection seems to be an… Read more »
So spot on correct!!
