Senate Democrats have advanced a resolution to break Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville's blockade on military promotions. The resolution, passed by the Senate Rules Committee, would allow for the quick confirmation of hundreds of military nominees by voting on them en bloc rather than individually. The move is an attempt to maneuver around Tuberville's hold over a Pentagon abortion policy. Republican senators are set to challenge Tuberville's blockade by pushing for the confirmation of military nominees, escalating the standoff.
