Top Marine still in hospital as Senate scrambles to confirm No. 2 post
Fox News
Sen. Tommy Tuberville is forcing a vote to confirm Lt. Gen. Christopher Mahoney to the Marines' No. 2 role while the branch's top officer remains hospitalized.
Smith had been essentially working the job of both the commandant and the assistant commandant of the Marine Corps amid stalled efforts in the Senate to confirm Lt. Gen. Christopher Mahoney to the Marines No. 2 role, USNI reported, with Tuberville forcing a hold on unanimous consent votes for Sente military confirmations over a Pentagon policy that reimburses service members who obtain out-of-state abortions.
"I'm trying to keep the White House from playing dictator along with the Pentagon," Tuberville told Fox News Digital this week, referring to the Senate battle. "Abortion is the No. 1 issue in our country in our lifetime when it comes to social issues, and the American people need to have a say-so now."
