“Ronald Reagan has to be rolling over in his grave,” Sen. Mark Warner said.
Senator Tommy Tuberville says he’ll continue to block hundreds of U.S. military promotions unless the Biden administration abolishes its new abortion policy and the Senate votes on the issue because “we are not a Communist country.”
Tuberville began his freeze on confirmation votes in February. With more than 300 promotions now blocked, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps don’t have confirmed service chiefs and are led by acting commanders. In October, the military may lack a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because General Mark Milley must leave that post when his term expires.
Democrats have rejected a push by Republican senators to bring up for debate the nominations for the Joint Chiefs chairman and other high-level positions such as the service chiefs, while allowing hundreds of other nominations to languish.
