Sen. Thom Tillis says he sees a real chance that President Donald Trump will react recklessly if Republicans lose badly in the midterm elections. The North Carolina senator told 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat that the concern comes from how the president acted before and after the January 6 Capitol riot.
The conversation ranged across the Republican Party, the president, and Tillis’s clashes with officials in the administration, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Douthat described the appearance as a familiar tightrope performance, noting that Tillis more often criticizes Trump’s advisers than the president himself. January 6 was an exception.
