Tuberville's Military Holds Cause Controversy and Divide Within GOP

Despite Criticism, Republican Senate Candidates Back Tuberville's Strategy

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville has been holding up military nominations due to objections to the Department of Defense’s abortion policy, causing a divide within the Republican party.
The Senate Rules Committee has approved a resolution to circumvent Tuberville’s holds, but it may not come to a vote until next month.
Many Republican Senate candidates are backing Tuberville’s strategy, using it as an example of how a single senator can wield power.
Democrats have criticized Tuberville’s actions, arguing that they put politics ahead of national security and military readiness.
Despite the controversy, Tuberville shows no signs of backing down, maintaining that his actions are in line with his anti-abortion stance.
