In Saying No to Him, Tillis Pleads to Help Trump Keep His Promise
- On June 28, 2025, Senator Thom Tillis announced he would vote against President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' in Washington, D.C., citing Medicaid concerns.
- This announcement came after Tillis opposed changes to Medicare that he believed would negatively affect elderly residents and the availability of healthcare services in North Carolina, leading to a political disagreement with Trump.
- In June 2025, false rumors spread online suggesting that Tillis received a large payment from Democrats to oppose the bill, but these claims stemmed from satirical social media content and were debunked by credible sources.
- Tillis' office stated via email that the claim is 'not remotely true,' and fact-checkers found no credible evidence supporting the alleged payment or conspiracy.
- Following his opposition, Tillis announced on June 29, 2025, he would not seek reelection, which insulated him from political backlash amid threats of a primary challenge by Trump.
