Tuberville Lifts Blocks on Some Military Promotions, But Continues to Protest Abortion Travel Policy
- Senator Tuberville has been blocking military promotions for months to protest abortion-related travel reimbursements
- On Tuesday, he said he would lift holds on some promotions, though not on 11 four-star generals
- Hundreds of stalled promotions then went through after no objections in the Senate
- The Pentagon said Tuberville's decision was encouraging but uncertainty in the chain of command creates friction
- Tuberville began the blocks in March to protest the military's policy of paid leave and cost reimbursement for abortion-related travel
