WASHINGTON — Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., announced Sunday that he would not run for re-election, one day after he opposed a sweeping bill for President Donald Trump's agenda. The two-term Republican issued a lengthy statement about his decision, saying he has not been enthusiastic about seeking another six-year term in the Senate.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina says he won't seek reelection. That news Sunday comes one day after he announced his opposition to President Donald Trump’s tax breaks and spending cuts package because of its reductions to health care programs.

The announcement comes a day after President Donald Trump threatened Tillis with a primary challenge for opposing his massive tax and immigration plan.
