Tommy Tuberville's Failed Attempt to Halt Military Promotions Ends in Defeat

Former Auburn football coach and Senator Tommy Tuberville failed in his attempt to prevent defense officials from being promoted in order to pressure the US military to adjust its abortion policies. After months of blocking promotions, Tuberville ultimately conceded, allowing the Senate to confirm the promotions of the final 11 military officers. However, another Republican senator, Eric Schmitt, is now blocking promotions due to his opposition to diversity initiatives.
