Trump threatened to back primary challenge against Senator Thom Tillis for opposing his domestic bill
Donald Trump has hit out at Senator Thom Tillis over the North Carolina Republican’s refusal to back his “big, beautiful bill”, even as the president’s signature piece of domestic legislative action narrowly passed a procedural vote in the Senate late Saturday.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump threatened Tillis, who is up for re-election in 2026 in the battleground state, by saying he would meet with potential candidates to challenge him in a Republican primary.
