The Austin Republicans chairs House Foreign Affairs, and is a leading GOP voice on national security.
Tuberville has been blocking promotions over a Pentagon policy to reimburse service members and their families who must travel to obtain an abortion.
Tuberville rejects assertions his holds have or will impact national security, pointing out that jobs are filled temporarily by lower ranked officers.Texas Sen. John Cornyn is among the Republicans who have tried to blunt the fallout. He said last week thatby holding votes on the promotions one-by-one. Schumer, who’s called Tuberville’s tactics “abominable,” has rejected that approach because it could tie up Senate for months.
“I don’t support putting a hold on military nominations. I don’t support that,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in early May, when he first publicly distanced himself from Tuberville’s blockade. “We’re working this issue out in the National Defense Authorization,” he said, adding, “To hold up the top brass from being promoted and lower brass, I think is paralyzing our Department of Defense.”
