The comments came ahead of a meeting with GOP senators on strategies for resolving the impasse.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville signaled that he's open to solutions aimed at ending his blockade of military promotions. | Francis Chung/POLITICOacknowledged on Tuesday that there’s urgency to resolving his blockade that’s left more than 400 military promotions in limbo in protest of the Pentagon’s abortion travel policy.
Tuberville has so far rejected the off-ramps offered to him — such as votes that would undo the Pentagon policy of reimbursing troops who travel to seek an abortion. “It’s pretty important to my people back in the state that there’s got to be a way around this that … it’s not going to satisfy everybody, but I do want to move forward with this,” he added.
“I’m not lifting my holds. There are some ways around this, and we’re going to explain them to you a little bit later,” he told reporters.
