Republicans will huddle on Tuesday to chart a path forward amid mounting frustration inside the conference over Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s hold on military promotions.
The vast majority of Republicans oppose the abortion policy, including the group of senators who spent more than four hours on the Senate floor on Wednesday evening to try and force voice votes on 61 nominees.Sens. Dan Sullivan and Joni Ernst , joined by Sens. Lindsey Graham , Todd Young , and Mitt Romney , unloaded on Tuberville in occasionally personal attacks, with Sullivan rehashing a claim the Alabama senator denies and Ernst questioning his honor as a man.
With the support of GOP leadership, Sullivan and Ernst led the behind-the-scenes effort to negotiate a solution with Tuberville. Going public with their frustration comes after months of pitching him everything from a vote to reverse the policy to a more limited hold for civilian nominees. That sway gives them a fighting chance at securing nine Republican votes needed to pass the resolution.
