Tuberville Rejects GOP Attempts to End Blanket Hold

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) “is rejecting off-ramps and advice from more senior Republicans to end his hold on military promotions, even as Pentagon officials step up their warnings that the maneuver is compromising America’s security,” Politico reports.

“The Alabama lawmaker’s colleagues have approached him in recent weeks to broker a compromise that would allow roughly 250 senior officer promotions to clear the Senate.”
