Thom Tillis is a North Carolina businessman and former Speaker of the North Carolina House who has represented the state in the U.S. Senate since 2015. A pragmatic conservative with a record of occasional bipartisanship — he voted to acquit Trump in both impeachment trials but has occasionally broken with party leadership on immigration and judicial matters — he faces re-election in one of the most closely watched Senate battlegrounds of 2026. North Carolina has been a toss-up state in recent presidential and Senate elections.
