Rumor is that Tillis threatened to go nuclear over EJ. A lot of banking interests / constitutents were poudning the pavement to keep him out

Why does he care about constituents? He’s not rerunning.

probably mostly because he’s a neocon corporate bootlicker (i.e. the republican old guard)

What about the crypto guy? Industry not like him?

Winklevoss twins iced him. But given what’s happening with Issacman, maybe Quintez will make a comeback.

Who pushed him out? Miller? Vought?

Got Loomered. I must admit, I did not expect to use the phrase “got/getting loomered” so much in my briefing memos this year.
