Washington – President Donald Trump criticized Senator Thom Tillis on Saturday, RN.C., about his opposition to a bill which would finance a large part of his national program, threatening to meet the primaries of Tillis, who presents himself at the re -election of next year.
“Many people have come forward by wanting to run in primary off against” senator Thom ‘Tillis “,” Trump wrote Saturday night. “I will meet them in the coming weeks, looking for someone who will correctly represent the great people of North Carolina and, so important, the United States of America.”
Trump criticized Tillis a lot in an article on his social media platform for his opposition to the funding measure, nicknamed the “big and beautiful bill”. It comes for hours After Tillis said in a press release that he “I cannot support this bill in its current form”, indicating the expected reductions of Medicaid, according to him, “would lead to tens of billions of dollars in funding lost for North Carolina, including our hospitals and our rural communities”.
Trump in return – via Truth Social – accused the senator on two mandates of greatness “in order to obtain a certain advertisement for himself, for a possible but very difficult re -election”.
“It looks like the senator Thom Tillis, as usual, means to the nation that he gives them an increase in tax by 68%, because (it is) opposed to the greatest tax reduction in American history!” Trump wrote, adding, “Thom Tillis makes a big mistake for America and the wonderful people of North Carolina!”
Tillis launched his Senate re -election campaign last December, but faced calls to withdraw Due to concerns On his ability to win the race, especially after the survey discovered that he dragged the Democratic Governor Roy Cooper in a hypothetical match. Tillis won her two races in the previous Senate by less than two percentage points.
Before Trump’s post, Tillis told journalists on Saturday evening that he had given the president an idea of his opposition during a call that he described as “very professional” and “very respectful”.
“I had a very good discussion with President Trump last night. I told him at that time that I had problems with the implementation (Medicaid). And I said that the bill in the Chamber, I think, would be a good brand,” said Tillis. “I believe that the president really focuses on the realization of the tax portion of the invoice, and I support this, a complete stop. But he went from a tax invoice to the one who includes health care and other things. And I said that in non -tax areas, we have a problem. ”
When asked if he was concerned about the fact that Trump approves a main challenge for him, Tillis replied: “No”.
Trump threatened the GOP legislators who criticize him in the past, exercising his influence on the Republicans who voted to put him in accusation after the riot of the Capitol on January 6, including the former representative of Utah, Liz Cheney. Last week, two Trump advisers launched a great heat aimed at withdrawing the representative Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Another frequent critic of the administration agenda.
However, Trump did not always follow the threats, opting against the approve of a Massie’s main challenger in 2024 and – according to the Tampa Bay Times – Take a threat To target a legislator from the Florida State which approved Governor Ron Desantis during the 2024 presidential cycle.
