Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said President Trump should "take stock" and own the outcome of an election, according to PBS NewsHour. The outlet published the remarks as an interview in which Tillis joined Geoff Bennett, who is listed as the author of the piece.
Tillis's comments accompany a new book he has written, "How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents," PBS NewsHour reported. According to the outlet, Tillis warns in the book that Republican lawmakers are afraid to challenge Trump, that Congress is surrendering its power, and that some of the president's closest advisers are leading him toward failure.
PBS NewsHour described Tillis as sounding the alarm about the future of his own party. The outlet's summary does not say which election the headline refers to, and it does not name the advisers Tillis criticized or identify the specific lawmakers or actions behind his warnings. The account in this report rests on the PBS NewsHour headline and summary alone, so the full context of his remarks is not available here.
PBS NewsHour's summary does not say whether the White House or Trump responded to Tillis's comments. The outlet said Tillis joined Bennett to discuss the book and his views in more detail.
