GOP senator places holds on Biden’s DOD nominees over Pentagon’s new abortion policy
Fox News
Sen. Tuberville said this week he would place a hold on all military nominations to protest the Biden administration's new rule on abortion travel for service members.
"As I've stated, if Secretary Austin wants to change law, he should go through Congress. This is an illegal expansion of DoD authority and gross misuse of taxpayer dollars – and I will hold him accountable. The American people want a military focused on national defense, not facilitating a progressive political agenda," he added. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Tuberville's hold means the Senate will not be able to quickly approve President Biden's nominees by unanimous consent, as the Senate often does. Instead, Defense Department nominees will require a formal Senate vote, which could make these nominations more difficult to approve.
