Tillis Statement on President Biden’s Address to the Joint Session of Congress
While I’ve made it clear that I’m willing to seek common ground with President Biden on a number of critical issues, bipartisanship is a two-way street. President Biden talks a lot about finding consensus, including during tonight’s speech, but his actions have failed to match his rhetoric. He has rejected bipartisanship and embraced left-wing policies to tax, spend, and regulate our country into oblivion. Some of the liberal proposals he mentioned tonight are even a bridge too far for some of my Democratic colleagues. I hope President Biden stops listening to his advisors, who have convinced him to pursue a far-left agenda, and instead start working with Republicans like myself who want to solve the many pressing challenges we face, from ending the humanitarian and security crisis at the Southern border to ensuring our nation fully recovers from the damage caused by the pandemic.

Tillis: After Promising Bipartisanship, President Biden Has Pushed Partisan, Far-Left Agenda
In North Carolina, our state motto is ‘Esse quam videri’ – ‘To be rather than to seem.’ I think our motto does a good job summarizing the first 100 days of the Biden administration. As a presidential candidate, Joe Biden made it seem he would govern as a moderate, pragmatic dealmaker. He set the bar high in his inaugural address, telling the nation: ‘My whole soul is in this: bringing America together, uniting our people, and uniting our nation. I ask every American to join me in this cause.’ I was inspired by this statement, and I’m one of the Americans who were willing to join him in that cause.

Tillis, Colleagues Introduce Legislation Preventing Unilateral Deal with Murderous Iranian Regime
The Biden administration’s indication to reenter the deal puts American lives at stake as Iran continues to be the largest state sponsor of terror. Congress should be involved in approving the final negotiated language. This legislation would prevent any federal funds from being used to rejoin the deal and ensure any agreement goes through the Senate for oversight.
