North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis Declines 2026 Re‑election Bid
Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina announced Sunday that he will not seek reelection in 2026. According to WBTV, the announcement came just a day after he voted against former President Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful” bill. In a written statement, Tillis said his decision followed careful consideration of the legislation’s potential impact on the citizens he represents. He noted that his choice was influenced by recent discussions with Republican Senate leaders. Tillis becomes the third GOP senator to oppose the bill. Despite stepping away from a future campaign, he said he remains committed to serving North Carolina for the remainder of his term.
