He may get death threats like other senators got when they said they weren’t on board with confirming Hegseth.

Tillis has already been getting death threats just for indicating he might waver on Hegseth and some of the other loonies.

Women get death threats every day and still manage to do their jobs. There’s more of them, so stop with this lame @ss excuse.

True. I wonder what he did though.

Tillis said he was opposing Martin based on his advocacy for those convicted of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump pardoned them on his first day back in office, and Martin has punished prosecutors in the office who worked on those cases.

“I’m thinking about future January 6ths,” Tillis told reporters Tuesday. “We’ve got to make it very clear: You come into this Capitol, you’re going to get fined, you’re going to go to prison, you made a bad mistake. No rationalization.”

Plus he's up for re-election soon.

It is possible that Mr. Martin’s fall signals a limit to what Senate Republicans, who have rubber-stamped Trump nominees, are willing to accept. Mr. Trump’s approval ratings among key demographics have flagged in the past month, darkening the party’s prospects in the 2026 midterms and perhaps loosening the grip of a president who will never again top its ticket.

Yet it is just as likely that Mr. Martin — a hyperpartisan activist with no experience as a prosecutor known for consorting with antisemites and the far-right fringe of his party — was simply more trouble than he was worth. Mr. Martin will be relatively easy to replace with a more palatable nominee who has a similar, if not quite as extreme, set of priorities, according to Republican aides, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss strategy.
