Austin confronts GOP senator for blocking military nominations over abortion policy
abcnews.go.com/Politics/austin-confronts-gop-senator-blocking-military-nominations-abortion/story
Quick Glance: Tuberville's hold on military nominees over Biden administration abortion policy is "reckless," according to Schumer.
- "Right now, 160 military promotions – these are not political -- are on hold because the senior senator from Alabama is holding them up because he can't get his way on blocking 160,000 women within the military from receiving healthcare," Schumer said on the Senate floor on Monday.
- "The senator from Alabama's hold on hundreds of routine military promotions is reckless, damages the readiness of our military and puts American security in jeopardy," the Senate majority leader said.
- If every elected official blocked military nominations because they disagreed with the policies, "our military would simply grind to a halt." Schumer said.
