Republicans Strategize to Overcome Tuberville's Military Obstruction
TL;DR
Republican senators are growing frustrated with Sen. Tommy Tuberville's nine-month blockade of military promotions and are plotting new ways to break the impasse. Some Republicans plan to ask Tuberville to focus his obstruction on Pentagon's civilian nominees rather than uniformed officers. Others want to challenge the policy at the center of the hold, which reimburses troops for travel expenses related to obtaining abortions and reproductive services. Democrats are also devising their own strategies to get around the blockade and are hoping GOP frustration will push Republicans to support their idea.
