GOP's Tillis comes under pressure for taking on Trump
By Scott Wong and Alexander Bolton - 03/13/19 04:17 PM EDT

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) is under fire from conservative activists for supporting a Democratic effort to block President Trump’s emergency declaration to fund his border wall.

The activists have also raised Tillis’s legislation to shield special counsel Robert Mueller from any interference by Trump.

Some county GOP party leaders are openly calling for Tillis to face a primary challenge.

And while House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a Trump loyalist, told The Hill he has no plans to run for the Senate, another conservative Trump ally, Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.), may heed the call.

When "you have a Republican president, you expect your Republican senators to follow suit,” said Diane Parnell, the chairwoman of the Rockingham County Republican Party. “The state of North Carolina elected him to go to Washington, D.C., and support our conservative values.
