Monthslong Senate standoff over military promotions nearly resolved with votes on Joint Chiefs nominees
- Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville has blocked over 300 military promotions for 7 months to protest the Pentagon's abortion travel reimbursement policy.
- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer held votes on Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. CQ Brown and Army and Marine Corps chiefs despite Tuberville's objections.
- Brown, Army chief Gen. Randy George, and Marine Corps chief Gen. Eric Smith were confirmed, but many other Pentagon positions remain unfilled.
- Tuberville claims victory but will maintain his holds until the policy he opposes is reversed or codified.
- Schumer criticizes Tuberville's "poorly conceived tactic" but may hold more individual votes if bipartisan negotiations fail.
