73% Informative

Sen. Tillis is the only Republican to publicly oppose Ed Martin , the nominee for top federal prosecutor for D.C. He's known for reaching across the aisle and at times standing at odds with President Trump .

Tillis has drawn the ire of conservatives in North Carolina for his past votes, with his state party censuring him in 2023 for, among other things, his support for gay marriage rights.

The White House has shown no willingness to back down on Martin 's nomination.

Sen. Tillis is the latest Republican to face conservative scrutiny for expressing concerns or outright opposition to Trump ’s second -term nominees.

Tillis's handling of Martin stands in contrast to that of Sens. Cassidy and Cornyn, both of whom face messy primaries from MAGA figures in largely safe Republican states.
