Trump Calls GOP Sen. Thom Tillis ‘a Loser’
Trump called Thom Tillis a loser after the senator said Todd Blanche must condemn January 6 before he gets support from at least three Republicans.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump called Republican Senator Thom Tillis a "loser" after the lawmaker refused to support acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination without a formal condemnation of January 6.
- Tillis, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, maintains he will not back any nominee who justifies violence against law enforcement during the January 6 incident.
- Because Republicans hold a slim Senate majority, only four GOP "no" votes are needed to sink the nomination without a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance.
- White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson defended Blanche as an "excellent" leader on Thursday, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the confirmation outcome uncertain.
- Lawmakers prepare for hearings likely to focus on the relationship between the White House and the Department of Justice, even as Trump continues praising Blanche as "brilliant" and "fantastic.
