Senate Republican : 'I would retire, too, if I voted against' GOP megabill
Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) took aim at Sen. Thom Tillis on Monday after the North Carolina Republican announced he would not run for reelection in the wake of coming out against President Trump’s "big, beautiful bill."
“I would retire, too, if I voted against this bill, because everyone in Indiana is counting on it. Tillis voted against it anyway, so that’s a moot point,” Banks said during a "Fox & Friends" appearance.
Tillis was one of two Republicans to vote against advancing the bill on Saturday, and he vowed to vote against final passage as well over concerns about the impact Medicaid cuts would have on North Carolina.
