Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) spoke with POLITICO's Dasha Burns on "The Conversation" amid his call for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller to be fired for their handling of the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis. Tillis was passionate in his plea for the Republican Party to return to its roots of "limited government, free markets and federalism," ahead of the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. -----------
