Former NC state Senator and U.S. representative Wiley Nickel discusses Trump, tariffs, and Tillis

We’re now three months into the second Trump administration and, as so many experts had feared and warned, the chaos – in the global economy, in the federal government, in our courts, and on the ground in scores of communities across the nation – is palpable.

Not surprisingly, however, resistance to the administration’s policies seems to be growing and gaining steam and earlier this week Newsline’s Rob Schofield caught up with a former North Carolina state Senator and U.S. representative, Wake County’s Wiley Nickel, who says, that while he sees some encouraging signs, he also believes it’s time for caring and thinking people to redouble their efforts.
