Senate Overcomes Tuberville's Blockade to Confirm First Woman as Navy's Top Officer

The Senate has confirmed Admiral Lisa Franchetti as the first woman to lead the U.S. Navy, despite Sen. Tommy Tuberville's ongoing blockade of over 300 military promotions. Franchetti, who previously served as the vice chief of operations for the Navy, will also become the first woman to hold a seat on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The confirmation comes after Tuberville objected to the promotions due to his protest against a Pentagon abortion policy.

"Biden selects Admiral Lisa Franchetti as first female Navy leader and Joint Chiefs of Staff member"

President Biden has nominated Adm. Lisa Franchetti to become the first woman to lead the U.S. Navy and join the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Franchetti, currently the vice chief of Naval Operations, has 38 years of service and is the second woman to reach the rank of four-star admiral in the Navy. Her nomination overruled Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's recommendation. However, her confirmation may face delays due to Sen. Tommy Tuberville's obstruction over Defense Department abortion policy. If confirmed, Franchetti's appointment would be another historic choice by the Biden administration.
