Senate GOP leaders unable to get Tuberville to stop blocking Biden’s military promotions

JTN:

Senate Republicans appear stuck at least for another month with Alabama GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s hold on hundreds of President Joe Biden’s military appointments, which is creating political headwinds for them in a major election cycle.

As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Tuberville has been able to block a final confirmation vote on the appointees, essentially over the Pentagon’s use of taxpayer funds for abortion-related services for military families.

The situation has left vacant some of the most important and high-ranking posts in the U.S. – including the U.S. Marine Corps, which is now without a permanent leader for the first time in over 150 years.

“It’s hung around for a while,” South Dakota Sen. John Thune, the No,. 2 Senate Republican, said about the stalemate.

Thune said he supports Tuberville’s goal but acknowledges a deal or compromise must be reached. more

  1. I don’t know whether Tuberville realizes this, clearly other GOP members don’t realize that this is a POSITIVE with voters. They are as sick and tired of the malarkey as Tuberville is.
