First on FOX: After GOP lawmakers announced they would not be reelection, first-term House Republicans and military veterans are keeping an eye on Sen. Tom Tillis’ bid for the North Carolina Senate seat.
Rep. Pat Harrigan, a former Army Special Forces officer deployed in Afghanistan, was elected in November 2024 to represent North Carolina’s 10th Congressional District.
It comes after President Donald Trump promises to find a key challenger for Tillis on the Senator’s decision to vote “no” on a key procedural hurdle to advance commander’s “Big Beautiful Building.”
