GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville signaled that he is backing off of his hold on all top military nominees – as soon as next week – and will instead be focusing his blockade on a smaller number of so-called “woke,” nominees. The move comes after bipartisan pressure to cease his blanket hold on military promotions over reproductive rights policy.
The article title is somewhat misleading because it looks like Tuberville is only going to promote those whose background he agrees with.
In other words, he is still going to block the promotions of those he doesn’t think are conservative enough.
@CoffeeAddict I really hope he gets the boot next election cycle for being so anti-military. There are plenty of other republicans in Alabama that should be favorable enough on other GOP viewpoints that could primary him, or if we get really good luck, a moderate dem win?
@Neblib unfortunately he is not up for reelection until 2026.
Who knows what the political landscape will look like three years from now, but the GOP has gone so far off the deep end that I wouldn’t be surprised if he ran unprimaried.
Also, in 2020 Tuberville defeated democratic incumbent Doug Jones 60.1% (1,392,076) to 39.7% (920,478).
I would eat shit if a democrat was able to dethrone him 2026 lol.
