Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina announced Sunday he is not seeking reelection next year, a day after he was one of only two Republicans who voted against advancing President Donald Trump’s sweeping agenda bill.

Tillis made the surprise announcement one day after he opposed a massive bill for Trump's agenda in the Senate.

Republican Senator Tillis won't seek reelection in 2026 following his vote against Trump's bill, criticizing Washington's partisan politics and its scorn for independent thinkers.
