Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer conceded to Senator Tommy Tuberville's demand for a military promotions vote. This took place after a standoff over some of the military nominations. Tuberville was not OK with the Pentagon policy on paying for abortion travel, so he and Chuck Schumer had a little standoff. Trending Politics News covered this breaking politics event with a quick report, adding the following information:
Taking to social media, Senator Tuberville stated, “One of us was bluffing. It wasn’t me. Democrats are taking the same action they could’ve taken months ago. As long as the Pentagon keeps the unlawful elective abortion policy in place, my holds will remain.”
Schumer, in response, announced his decision to file cloture on three significant military promotions that Tuberville had previously halted. The GOP Senator’s blockade had prevented the Senate’s blanket vote to confirm hundreds of military appointments simultaneously.
