Republicans furious: Tommy Tuberville's refusal to back down
Republicans are growing increasingly frustrated with Senator Tommy Tuberville's block on military promotions, which has resulted in over 350 vacant positions. Some Republicans have called Tuberville a liar and expressed concern over the negative impact on military readiness and morale. Tuberville's team may have made matters worse by suggesting that Republicans who joined a resolution to circumvent the block should face primary challengers. Tuberville remains defiant and refuses to change course.
