The Biden administration publicly commented Sen. Tuberville's strategy today. “What the senator is doing by holding these nominations, it’s a threat to our national security. Period. That’s what he’s doing,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Tuberville has contended that the policies are unlawful and that current law only allows the agency to fund abortions in cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother is threatened.
“I warned [Defense] Secretary Austin that if he did this ... I would put a hold on his highest-level nominees. Secretary Austin went through with the policy anyway in February of this year. So, I am keeping my word,” the in April, when Democrats unsuccessfully tried to bypass the holds for the third time. “This was Secretary Austin’s choice, not mine. he knew the consequences for several months.”Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer could invoke procedural moves to circumvent the holds, but that strategy is impractical with nearly 200 promotions to vote on.
But if the Senate voted on the individual promotions, it would back up Tuberville’s claim that the holds are not creating an impasse.is concerned about our readiness, then let’s vote on these nominees.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
