Tillis, who is up for re-election next year in battleground North Carolina, voted against advancing a bill for Trump's domestic policy agenda Saturday evening.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), unburdened by having to run for reelection, torched his party's "Big Beautiful Bill."

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is rushing to meet President Donald Trump’s July 4 deadline for pushing through his massive tax and spending bill, but first he has to work through a list of approximately eight Republican senators who have expressed opposition to portions of it.
