Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is pressing forward with three top military nominations amid Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s monthslong blockade of hundreds of nominees after the Marine Corps' commandant, Gen. Eric Smith, was hospitalized over the weekend due to a medical emergency. Schumer moved Tuesday to advance to a vote on President Joe Biden’s nominees for Marine Corps second-in-command, Lt. Gen.
Tuberville, who is facing backlash for stalling at least 300 high-level nominees, has said his blockade is aimed at reversing the Defense Department's policy allowing time off and travel reimbursement for service members and family members who go to another state for an abortion. On Tuesday, Tuberville tried to force a vote on Mahoney, saying Smith’s unexpected hospitilization prompted him to reconsider the nomination.
