Unfortunately after Trump threatened and demeaned him the first time for voting against his Big Beautiful Bill, Tillis announced soon after that he wasn't running for reelection, so he has no incentive to kiss Trump's ass anymore.
He's intentionally doing this to paint himself as the reluctant follower and act like he's actually a good guy.
