'Man up!' MAGA in panic mode after GOP senator tanks key Trump nominee's chances

Word that President Donald Trump's troublesome nominee for D.C.'s top prosecutor may fail to get enough support among Senate Republicans has MAGA in full panic mode that's led them to ramp up the pressure campaign in person and on social media.

Tuesday night, the president reportedly made call after call to Republican senators urging them to support interim U.S. attorney Ed Martin's bid for the permanent position.

Sen. Thom Tillis may have hammered the nail in Martin's coffin on Tuesday.

“I’ve indicated to the White House I wouldn’t support his nomination,” Tillis said after meeting with Martin — a "Stop the Steal" organizer and J6 supporter — on Monday night.

Joyce Vance, who served as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, wrote in her Substack, "Before Martin goes to the floor of the Senate for a confirmation vote, he has to make it out of committee. And that’s unlikely to happen now. The Senate Judiciary Committee is made up of 12 Republicans and 10 Democrats. All of the Democrats oppose Martin. With Tillis abandoning him, the best Martin could do is 11-11, and a nominee who receives a tie vote doesn’t advance. For all practical purposes, the outcome of that vote will be a death knell for his nomination."

But MAGA isn't giving up yet.

Donald Trump Jr. posted to social media Wednesday morning, "How can any supposed 'Republican' justify voting to confirm leftist thug Merrick Garland, but oppose voting to confirm @EagleEdMartin? Drain the DC Swamp. Confirm Ed Martin for US Attorney in DC!"

J6 defendant John Strand took aim at Tillis, writing, "I was sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison—not for violence on J6, but for standing my ground and refusing to bow to a rigged political prosecution. Now Senator Thom Tillis wants to block Ed Martin—one of the few fighting for real justice. We see you, @SenThomTillis."

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) wrote, "77 million Americans voted for President Trump and his America First Agenda. Get on board, or get out of the way. CONFIRM ED MARTIN."

MAGA reporter Nick Sortor posted, "Sen. Thom Tillis has informed the White House he will NOT vote to confirm Ed Martin as U.S. Attorney for DC What the hell are you doing, @SenThomTillis??! Ed Martin has been VITAL in fulfilling Trump’s goal to clean up DC. VOTE TO CONFIRM ED MARTIN!"

Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk called for Tillis's ouster following his revelation, writing, "If Thom Tillis wont vote Ed Martin out of committee then he needs to be REMOVED from the committee and replaced with someone that will vote to confirm. Its not that tough, @LeaderJohnThune. Man up and do what needs to be done."

CNN reported Wednesday that Martin "did not appear on the agenda for the Senate Judiciary Committee’s meeting Thursday – a key deadline for him to be confirmed by May 20, when his interim position expires."
