Top Military Leaders Demand Tuberville to End Dangerous Holds on Promotions
Three senior military officials, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, and Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, have penned an op-ed in The Washington Post, urging Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville to end his months-long holds on military promotions due to his opposition to the Pentagon's abortion care policy. The officials argue that Tuberville's actions are jeopardizing national security and causing financial stress for military leaders and their families. Tuberville has delayed the confirmations of over 300 top military nominees, leaving three military services without Senate-confirmed leaders for the first time in history. The officials call for the holds to be lifted and the senior military leaders to be confirmed.
