Senate Republicans are urging Sen. Tommy Tuberville to narrow his hold on Pentagon promotions to civilian nominees, with the White House's pick for policy chief as their top target.
The architects of that protest were Sens. Joni Ernst and Dan Sullivan , who requested dozens of voice votes on the nominees, only for Tuberville to object to each one. But those same two lawmakers have been at the center of less-heated conversations with Tuberville to find an off-ramp to the impasse.
The move reflects a desire to shift the hold to administrative appointees, viewing the position, one of the top jobs at the Pentagon, as tailor-made to Republicans' opposition to the abortion policy. "I mean, I'm on the right side here. They're not," Tuberville said."So, I'm not bending the rules for people who want to break the rules."
Notably, Ernst and Sullivan, who were joined by four other Republican senators on the floor Wednesday, have not ruled out such a step, though the goal is still to find a Republican solution to the impasse."That would be my preference," Sullivan said.
