Tuberville's Military Nomination Blockade Faces Growing Opposition

As frustration mounts among fellow Republicans, Schumer plans resolution to confirm blocked nominations

Senator Tommy Tuberville has been blocking hundreds of military nominations and promotions in protest of a Pentagon policy that reimburses travel expenses for service members seeking abortions.
Tuberville has recently criticized the U.S. military as the weakest it has been in his lifetime, blaming 'wokeness' and diversity initiatives under the Biden administration.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is planning to unveil a resolution to circumvent Tuberville's blockade and confirm the more than 350 nominations by the end of the year.
Several Republican senators have expressed frustration with Tuberville's tactics, accusing him of damaging the military and assisting U.S. adversaries abroad.
Tuberville has not revealed how he plans to end the blockade, raising doubts over his promise to stand down.
