Tillis warns conservatives’ ‘unwise’ reforms would ‘weaken’ Senate GOP

10/15/24

North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis (R) circulated a “Dear Colleague” letter Tuesday warning that some of the reforms being pushed by Senate conservatives would only weaken the next Senate Republican leader and cause the same chaos that is plaguing the House Republican majority.

Tillis released his letter in response to a list of procedural reforms conservative Senate Steering Committee Chair Mike Lee (R-Utah) unveiled in his own letter last week, which called for giving rank-and-file senators more say in how to run the Senate floor.

Lee is pushing to curtail the next Senate GOP leader’s grip on floor strategy in anticipation of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) retirement as Senate GOP leader at the end of this year.

McConnell has served 18 years as Senate GOP leader, both in the majority and the minority, the longest tenure of any leader in Senate history.

Tillis, an ally of McConnell and Senate GOP Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), who is running to succeed McConnell, warned Tuesday that taking power out of the hands of the next GOP leader would only further empower Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.).

More rino’s wanting to interfere with Trump’s agenda. Either get on board or resign. This is just more career politicians wanting everything to keep on going as is. Time for these people to go. We the people need to set them straight on what we expect from this election and our votes.
