Thom Tillis Opposes GOP Bill, Announces Exit and Senate Seat Bid

Senator Thom Tillis criticized the GOP's domestic policy bill for its Medicaid cuts, warning it would harm North Carolina residents and break promises made on health care, and announced his retirement after opposing the bill. The Senate is engaged in a lengthy debate and vote-a-rama on the bill, which includes contentious provisions on Medicaid, AI regulation, and budget accounting tactics, with significant intra-party disagreements and political implications.
