Pressure Mounts on Sen. Tuberville as Military Blockade Reaches Critical Point
- Sen. Tommy Tuberville has been blocking all military promotions and nominations for over 300 officers since February in protest of the Pentagon's abortion care reimbursement policy.
- The blockade has left top military positions vacant, caused major disruptions for military families, and raised urgent concerns about impacts to military readiness and national security.
- Tuberville is facing growing backlash from military leaders, Democrats, and some fellow Republicans, but refuses to lift the holds unless the policy is reversed.
- With the impending retirement of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, the blockade could soon leave the nation's top military officer role unfilled.
- Despite increasing pressure, Tuberville remains firm in demanding a vote on the abortion policy before ending his blockade.
