Tillis is leaving after Trump threatened a primary over his no vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill.
AP and CNN report that Tillis voted against advancing the bill and that Trump threatened a primary. LegalClarity and pre-tend.com list him as a nay on final passage. The story presents the causal sequence in its own voice without attribution.
Medium
Tillis's no vote was over the bill's Medicaid cuts.
This is the desk's characterization of his motive. No source in the list explicitly states that the Medicaid cuts drove his vote.
Medium
Tillis has a new book titled 'How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents.'
The CBS interview context, Meaww (due Oct 6, Broadside Books) and the Daily Beast describe a forthcoming memoir. None of the source titles in the list confirms the exact book title.
Medium
The book chronicles the administration's 'WTF moments.'
The quoted phrase comes from the CBS interview, but the story does not explicitly assign the characterization to a speaker.
