U.S. Senate
2014 U.S. Senate election in North Carolina
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
Trump era
Tillis urged Trump in 2017 to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement.[2]
In February 2018, Tillis joined Senate establishment RINOs in calling for Donald Trump to preserve the globalist NAFTA.[3] However, he later supported replacing it with the USMCA, calling NAFTA "outdated".[4] Tillis voted for the implementation of the USMCA in January 2020.[5]
In March 2019, Tillis, having a condition of Romnesia, opposed Trump's national emergency declaration[6] before finally voting in favor of it due to conservative pressure within North Carolina.[7]
Tillis introduced a bill on March 12, 2020 that would block lawmakers from receiving pensions if they have been convicted of felonies.[8]
