Thom Tillis Opens Up About Turning on Trump in New Book

Original: Five Takeaways in New Book From Thom Tillis, Who Turned on Trump https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/us/politics/takeaway

A new book by former Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina details his break with Donald Trump, and the New York Times has published five key takeaways from it. Tillis, who announced he would not seek reelection after clashing with Trump over his support for a major spending bill, uses the book to explain his decision and air grievances about the president and his party.

Why now: A prominent Republican publicly breaking with Trump is politically explosive, especially with the 2026 midterms approaching.
