Between pushback from veterans and other congressional Republicans, Sen. Tommy Tuberville is facing intensifying pressure over his radical blockade.
A group of Democrats are lining up behind the newest push to pressure Sen. Tommy Tuberville to relent on his hold of hundreds of senior military promotions. VoteVets PAC, a Democratic veterans group, organized a visual display on the lawn outside the Senate showing the pictures of nominees for the promotions delayed by Tuberville’s hold.
What’s more, while the coach-turned-politician has said he’s felt no real pressure from his GOP colleagues, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski publicly denounced Tuberville’s radical tactics late last week.
