Pete Hegseth’s latest press conference meltdown wasn’t just bizarre and embarrassing — it was downright dangerous. He attacked reporters for asking basic questions about U.S. strikes in Iran, highlighting the chaos that ensues when reckless leadership meets zero accountability.

And who played a key role in placing him there? You probably guessed it: none other than Thom Tillis.

Tillis was the deciding vote for Hegseth’s appointment as Secretary of Defense. He flipped under Trump’s pressure, gambling with our national security to save his own political career. Now, we're living with the consequences of Tillis's short-sighted, irresponsible choices.

This is exactly why we need to fire Tillis and bring the bold, never-going-to-back-down leadership that is Wiley.

Wiley has fought for fiscal responsibility and a strong national defense in Washington, and he’s the only Democrat running to unseat Tillis. But he needs a strong, reliable team behind him.

Will you chip in now and give Wiley’s campaign a boost heading into the end of the quarter? Your contribution will help us bring real leadership to North Carolina and hold Thom Tillis accountable to the people.
