Senate Democrats work to circumvent Tuberville’s blockade on military nominees as vacancies grow

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:23:21 GMT

By MARY CLARE JALONICK and LOLITA BALDOR (Associated Press)WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats are trying a new workaround to confirm hundreds of military officers blocked by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, ten months after the Alabama Republican first said he would object to the nominations over a Pentagon abortion policy. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor Wednesday that the Senate will consider a resolution in the near future that would allow the quick confirmation of the nearly 400 officers up for promotion or nominated for another senior job. The Senate is currently at a stalemate on the nominations because Tuberville is objecting to the routine process of confirming the nominations all at once by unanimous consent, and voting on them individually could monopolize weeks or months of the Senate’s time.Schumer separately moved to hold votes as soon as this week on three top Pentagon officers affected by the holds — Adm.
