WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) two-term Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) to serve as a counselor to the Senate Republican leadership team.
“North Carolina and the whole country benefit from his service and I’m glad he’s taking on this new leadership role,” McConnell said in a statement to Fox News.
While the counsel position isn’t an official role, McConnell has historically offered one or two counselor positions to rank-and-file members of the Senate to have a seat at the leadership table, according to the report.
