Tuberville Criticizes Biden’s Decision on Space Command HQ
Senator Tommy Tuberville and Representative Mike Rogers of Alabama criticized President Joe Biden for his decision to keep the U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado Springs, instead of moving it to Huntsville, Alabama as recommended by former President Donald Trump and the Air Force. Tuberville accused Biden of injecting politics into the decision, while Rogers argued that the move was driven by “far-left politics” rather than national security concerns. Both politicians vowed to continue fighting to bring the headquarters to Alabama. They also argued that Alabama, Nebraska, and Texas were the top three choices for the location, rather than Colorado. Tuberville further accused Biden of using military bases as rewards for political supporters and causing delays in military operations by blocking nominations and promotions in protest of Pentagon policies. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey also criticized the decision, stating that it was the wrong decision for national security. The article concludes by mentioning that Colorado was initially established as the temporary site of the Space Command headquarters until Trump’s decision to move it to Huntsville during the final days of his presidency.
