Trump incorrectly described Senator Thom Tillis as no longer in office after Tillis opposed Kevin Warsh’s Federal Reserve chair nomination. Tillis remains a senator and says his objection is tied to the Justice Department’s inquiry into Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Left-leaning outlets split between framing Trump’s remark as confusion about Tillis’s status and spotlighting Tillis’s sarcastic reply to Trump’s insult. Center outlets also split: one focuses on Trump’s inaccurate status claim, while the other reports Trump’s criticism after Tillis called for Kristi Noem to step down.
