Amajority of likely Alabama voters want Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) to drop his hold on military promotions, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling and commissioned by VoteVets, found that 58 percent of Alabama voters think Tuberville has made his point with his hold and that he should now allow senior military promotions to move forward.
Tubervilles block stems from his disagreement with the Pentagon over its abortion policy which reimburses service members that travel across state lines for the procedure.

(13,480 posts)They could be changed with Republican cooperation, though even some long-serving Democrats are reluctant to change how theyve always done business. We definitely need a younger Senate that looks at todays politics instead of working with rules from 40 years ago.
