GOP Senator Facing Reelection Issues Big Tariff Warning
HuffPost
“Whose throat do I get to choke if this proves to be wrong?” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) asked Tuesday during a hearing on President Donald Trump's tariffs.
WASHINGTON ― One of the most vulnerable Republican senators in next year’s election is sounding the alarm on President Donald Trump’s global tariffs ― and he’s not mincing words about it.
“Whose throat do I get to choke if this proves to be wrong?” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) asked top White House trade negotiator and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer during a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee.
Tillis, a top target of Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections, questioned whether the Trump administration had a coherent strategy after announcing tariffs on about 90 countries last week. The new tariffs have rattled financial markets, wiping out trillions of dollars in value, and stoked fears of an economic recession.
The North Carolina Republican warned that Trump has a limited window in which to accomplish his goals and fix the economy before voters punish him ― and the GOP writ large ― at the ballot box.
“I’m just trying to figure out if they’re going to feel good about this,” Tillis said of the electorate.
