Tillis has been paid to take one for the team. He will run again next year and will not want for money, but he is probably out if the election is honest.
“He will run again next year and will not want for money, but he is probably out”
Tillis very well may not run in 2026 because there’s little chance he survives the primary and practically zero chance he wins the general (just about literally zero if Roy Cooper is the Rat nominee, and Lara Trump would fare no better against Cooper either). Tillis would likely even lose to the only announced Rat so far, which is unknown pissant-level ex-congressman Wiley Nickel.
Tillis may “run” just long enough to rake in some corporate campaign cash for his lucrative retirement fund. Filing deadline is in December.
