Tuberville Maintains Hold on Military Promotions Despite Israel-Hamas Conflict

Sen. Tuberville is continuing his hold on military promotions despite the Israel-Hamas war, arguing it doesn't change his stance.

The hold affects commanders like Rear Adm. Wikoff and Vice Adm. Cooper who oversee the Middle East region.

Tuberville's months-long hold protests a Pentagon policy that covers abortion travel expenses.

Tuberville tried to force a vote on the Marine Corps commandant, but leadership preempted him.

The promotions are being blocked even as lawmakers are out of session this week.
