U.S. Senate[edit]

2014 U.S. Senate election in North Carolina[edit]

Tillis ran for the U.S. Senate in 2014, a year that flipped Senate control towards the Republicans. In a close race, he beat then-incumbent Kay Hagan by less than 2% of the vote.[1]

Tenure[edit]

Trump era[edit]

Tillis urged Trump in 2017 to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement.[2]

In mid-July 2017, Sen. Tillis was the "chief roadblock" for a Trump DHS nominee because the latter was too economically nationalist.[3]

In February 2018, Tillis joined Senate establishment RINOs in calling for Donald Trump to preserve the globalist NAFTA.[4] However, he later supported replacing it with the USMCA, calling NAFTA "outdated".[5] Tillis voted for the implementation of the USMCA in January 2020.[6]

In March 2019, Tillis, having a condition of Romnesia, opposed Trump's national emergency declaration[7] before finally voting in favor of it due to conservative pressure within North Carolina.[8]

A globalist, Sen. Tillis joined 25 moderate Republicans/RINOs in the Senate and 97 in the House pleading with the DHS to allow foreign workers to compete for U.S. jobs via visas.[9]

Tillis introduced a bill on March 12, 2020 that would block lawmakers from receiving pensions if they have been convicted of felonies.[10]

In October 2020, Tillis emerged as a defender of Faucism and asserted his "confidence" in Anthony Fauci.[11]

2020 election[edit]

Tillis was re-elected, defeating Democratic challenger Cal Cunningham.
