Newsweek asked the Alabama Senator where he sees room for compromise as pressure mounts on him to end his hold on promoting military leaders.
If Tuberville continues with his hold, the country will be without its Senate-confirmed top military advisor on September 29 when General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will finish his term and cannot under law continue in the position.
This event will likely only bring more eyes toward the issue and ratchet up pressure on Tuberville, and it's also likely to strengthen the Democrats' case for why their party should remain in control of the Senate, as they prepare to defend seats in the red states of Montana, Ohio, and West Virginia and the swing states of Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan in 2024.
"I hear more and more from folks who are back home who just can't understand how one senator can jeopardize national security," Michigan Senator Gary Peters, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the party's chief campaign arm responsible for maintaining control of the upper chamber, told"Clearly, this has a negative impact on national security," Peters added."It puts the country at risk and voters need to be aware.
