Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville announced Tuesday he will lift his hold on most military nominations, a breakthrough in his monthslong blockade of promotions over the Pentagon’s abortion policies.
The Alabama lawmaker told reporters he will lift his hold on all nominations except for four-star generals, clearing the way for hundreds of stalled military appointments to be confirmed en bloc as soon as today.
