Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., announced he will not seek re-election after drawing President Donald Trump’s criticism for opposing the GOP’s domestic policy package. This decision creates an open seat in battleground North Carolina for the 2026 midterms.
Tillis expressed his lack of enthusiasm for a third Senate term, choosing family over politics. Trump's backlash followed Tillis' vote against the GOP bill. Tillis highlighted the need for independent voices in politics.
Republicans now seek a replacement for Tillis, with potential candidates including Lara Trump and Rep. Richard Hudson. Democrats view Tillis' exit as an opportunity to challenge the GOP's Senate majority.
