Tuberville Agrees to Lift Most Military Promotion Holds Over Abortion Policy Dispute
- Sen. Tuberville has had a 9-month blanket hold on over 400 military promotions over the Pentagon's abortion policy
- 20 House Republicans wrote a letter supporting Tuberville's holds, saying the policy is "immoral and illegal"
- The lawmakers disagreed that the holds are harming military readiness
- Tuberville told GOP senators he plans to end most of the holds, only keeping them for "woke" officers
- Sen. Sullivan suggested releasing holds for 3-star and lower officers, keeping them for 4-star generals
