Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, has signaled his intent to support the confirmation of Emil Bove, a former attorney for President Donald Trump and a nominee for the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Tillis, who recently announced he will not seek reelection in 2024, stated he would follow the recommendation of his Senate Judiciary Committee staff to vote in favor of Bove’s nomination. His decision marks a shift from his earlier opposition to Trump’s nominee for U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., which had previously stalled the confirmation process.
