Sen. Tuberville's Holds on Military Promotions Finally Lifted by Senate

TL;DR Summary
The Senate has unanimously approved the remaining military promotions that were held up by Senator Tommy Tuberville as part of his protest against the Defense Department's abortion policy. Tuberville did not receive any concessions for lifting the holds, and the Pentagon's abortion travel policy remains unchanged. President Joe Biden criticized Tuberville for needlessly hurting service members and families, while Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul also expressed their disapproval of Tuberville's actions.
