Senator Kaine expresses frustration over GOP’s effort to thwart Tuberville protest
Democratic Senator Tim Kaine believes that Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville’s blockade of military promotions will be resolved by GOP leadership. Tuberville has been blocking hundreds of nominations in protest of the Pentagon’s abortion policy, which includes reimbursing service members for out-of-state abortions and providing support to healthcare providers in red states. Kaine argues that this behavior would not be tolerated in the Democratic Caucus and predicts that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell may propose consequences for Tuberville’s actions.
