Republican North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis is calling it quits at the end of his term. On Sunday, he announced he’s retiring. This decision comes right after President Donald Trump ripped Tillis in a long post on his TruthSocial platform.

Tillis is not popular with MAGA republicans.

Here’s Trump’s full post where he went after Tillis.

Many feel that Tillis is a RINO and needs to be replaced by someone who will fully get behind Trump’s agenda.

Tillis isn’t the first Republican to succumb to Trump’s wrath.

Now begins the speculation of who will replace Tillis.

Many commenters are leaning towards Lara Trump, the wife of Trump’s son, Eric Trump, to run for the seat.

Tillis’ term ends in January 2027. With his retirement notice dropping on Sunday, no Republican has officially declared they are running for his seat.
