  • Polls indicate only 35% support for Trump’s bill, with Tillis citing Medicaid cuts as a key flaw.
  • GOP leaders passed the bill without Tillis, prompting Trump to threaten a primary, after which Tillis sent a private text to the president.
  • Looking ahead to 2026, Tillis warned the bill could harm Republicans' prospects, citing the 2010 midterms' backlash after the ACA's passage.
