Sen. Thom Tillis Says He Will Not Run for Reelection in North Carolina

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) announced Sunday that he won’t run for reelection in the 2026 midterms. President Donald Trump had warned he may move to primary Tillis after the senator indicated he won’t support the GOP spending package.

In a lengthy statement, the senator said, “In Washington over the last few years, it’s become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species.”
