💨 Abstract

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina announced he will not seek reelection, a day after opposing President Donald Trump’s tax and spending cuts package due to its impact on healthcare. Tillis cited the challenging political climate for bipartisan and independent leaders. He expressed pride in his career and willingness to compromise, even if it meant facing criticism from his own party. Currently, District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser has activated a Heat Alert until Tuesday morning.
