Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) moved to set up votes on three top military promotions that Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has been blocking, CNN reports.
The move heads off Tuberville’s effort to go around Senate leaders on at least one of these promotions.
Schumer said that if Tuberville objects to voting on all three today, he will keep the Senate in session through the weekend.
