‘Big Mistake’: Trump Blasts GOP Senator For Voting No On BBB, Threatens Primary Challenge
President Donald Trump targeted Caroline de Nord Thom Tillis Republican Senator in social networks on Saturday for voting not on the “big and beautiful bill (BBB)”.
“It seems that Senator Thom Tillis, as usual, means to the nation that he gives them an increase in tax by 68%, as opposed to the greatest tax reduction in American history! Because these are unpleasant people who really hate our country, “said Trump in a social and social post -social post.
“He likes China made of windmills that will cost a fortune, ruin the landscape and produce the most expensive energy on earth. I cannot believe that the great inhabitants of North Carolina, a state that I like and that I have won three times, and a state that I have just brought back with money, blood, sweat and tears, from the end of tragic floods, when Sleepy Joe Biden is passing until the work we have done by bringing him back, although Caroline du Nord will not allow one of their senators to spread to obtain a certain advertisement for himself, for a possible re-election, but very difficult, “continued Trump.
Trump then threatened to support the main Challengers of Tillis during his next re -election race.
“Many people have presented themselves to want to run in the primary against the” senator Thom “Tillis. I will meet them in the coming weeks, in search of someone who will correctly represent the great inhabitants of North Carolina and, so important, the United States of America,” Trump posted Trum.
TILLIS – One of the two Republican senators to vote “no” on the bill – said that the reductions proposed to Medicaida would harm its voters in North Carolina, which prevented it from voting “yes” on the BBB. (Related: two GOP senators vote “no” while Trump’s megabill erases the critical obstacle)
“I did my homework in the name of North Carolina and I cannot support this bill in its current form. This would result from tens of billions of lost funds for North Carolina, including our hospitals and our rural communities.
The version of the Senate of The One Big Beautiful Bill contains important changes to Medicaid which would be devastating for North Carolina, and I cannot support it.

He proposed to return the bill as the House of Representatives approached which included reforms aimed at waste, fraud and abuse, and implemented the work requirements for valid adults.
“We can and have to do better than that. The Senate is expected to go back to the Medicaid of the Chamber. This plan includes common sense reforms to meet waste, fraud and abuse, and implements work requirements for certain valid adults to ensure that the benefits funded by taxpayers go to our most vulnerable neighbors, “said Tillis.
“There is a lot to like the rest of the rest of the great good bill, in particular by extending Trump’s historical tax reductions, by increasing children’s tax credit, providing historical funding for border security and ending expenses.
Trump finished his post by praising the provisions in the BBB and made a final warning to Tillis for voting against the bill.
“America wants a tax reduction, including no advice tax, no tax on overtime and no tax on social security, deductions of interest in cars, border security, a strong army and a bill which is ideal for our farmers, our manufacturers and our jobs, in general.
