Why a single senator is blocking US military promotions and what it means for the Pentagon
- Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville is holding up hundreds of military nominations and promotions in an attempt to change the Pentagon's abortion policy. This has raised concerns about military readiness and left key positions unfilled.
- Tuberville has refused to drop the holds unless majority Democrats allow a vote on the policy, causing a stalemate in the Senate. Democrats fear that giving in to Tuberville's demands could encourage similar blockades in the future.
- The holds have already delayed the confirmation of senior military leaders, including the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and could further impact military readiness.
