Renegade Republicans Could Sink Trump’s National Emergency Declaration
Republican North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis has publicly stated he will oppose the national emergency declaration. Other GOP senators who might join Tillis are Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Maine Sen. Susan Collins.
“As a U.S. senator, I cannot justify providing the executive with more ways to bypass Congress,” Tillis wrote in a Washington Post column detailing his opposition to the emergency declaration. “As a conservative, I cannot endorse a precedent that I know future left-wing presidents will exploit to advance radical policies that will erode economic and individual freedoms.”
