“Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is refusing to back down from his decision to hold up more than 300 non-political military promotions, despite growing pressure from Senate Republican colleagues and leaders,” The Hill reports.
“Fellow Republican senators have criticized Tuberville’s strategy as a ‘mistake,’ and urged him to narrow his holds to Biden nominees who make policy decision and allow stalled non-political military personnel to continue advancing in their careers.”
