Tillis Won’t Seek Reelection After Trump Primary Threat

North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis said he won’t seek reelection following a primary threat from President Donald Trump.

“As many of my colleagues have noticed over the last year, and at times even joked about, I haven’t exactly been excited about running for another term,” the Republican said in a statement Sunday. “It’s not a hard choice, and I will not be seeking reelection.”
