Punchbowl News: “In his 348 days left in office — yes, he’s counting — Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) could end up becoming the biggest headache for Senate GOP leaders and the White House.”
“The North Carolina Republican is the deciding vote on all four of his committees, having exercised that leverage a few times already since announcing last year that he won’t seek reelection, including most recently with Federal Reserve nominees.”
“During an hour-long interview over Danish smørrebrød, Tillis said President Donald Trump’s push to grab control of Greenland — and use tariffs to punish allies who oppose the effort — is likely to be his next target.”
