If successful, the Senate will approve top leaders for the Navy, Air Force and the Marine Corps’ No. 2 as soon as Wednesday.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is also set to tee up votes on President Joe Biden’s picks to serve as the top officers in the Air Force and Navy. The confirmation votes could take place as soon as Wednesday if senators strike a deal to speed up the process. The trio of senior nominees is caught up in Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s blockade of hundreds of military promotions in protest of the Pentagon’s abortion travel policy.
Tuberville is pushing for a vote to confirm Lt. Gen. Christopher Mahoney as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, a day after it was announced that Commandant Gen. Eric Smith was hospitalized on Sunday. The New York Times reported that Smith had an apparent heart attack while jogging, though the service has declined to go into specifics.
