Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said Sunday that President Joe Biden would rather 'burn the Senate down' than negotiate to lift Tuberville's hold on the Senate approving military promotions.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said President Joe Biden would rather "burn the Senate down" than negotiate to lift Tuberville's hold on the Senate approving military promotions.
Although Tuberville's hold does not entirely block military promotions, it does prevent voting on multiple cases at a time, which is normally done as a time-saving move. The Senate now has to consider promotions one by one. Tuberville has demanded that Austin reverse the abortion policy, which he says effectively funds abortion and politicizes the military.
Democrats have floated the idea of changing Senate rules to circumvent Tuberville's block. However, nine Republicans would have to vote with every Democrat for that to happen.
