Big News: Tillis Retiring

Classic Trump Era chain of events. North Carolina Sen. Tom Tillis said he’d vote against the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. Trump announced he’d choose one of the Tillis’s primary opponents to support. Only hours later Tillis announced he’s retiring. This is pretty big news for the midterms. Tillis retiring almost certainly makes a North Carolina Senate pick up more likely, especially if former governor Roy Cooper runs, which now seems increasingly likely though still not certain.
