President Biden announced more military nominees as Sen. Tuberville digs in on blocking them. And yet, while the president called the Alabama Republican’s hold on promotions and nominations “dangerous,” and asked the Senate to quickly confirm the nominees, it is a Democrat that wants to cave to Tuberville’s hostage taking – Chris Coons.
According to Andrew Desidario of Punchbowl News speaking on MSNBC this morning, Coons is eager to “compromise” with Tuberville, and meet some of his demands regarding abortion in order to move nominations forward.
So far, however, most Democratic Senators see how acquiescing to any part of Tubervilles’s demands would set a dangerous precedent and create a roadmap for Republican senators who each have their own outrageous demands.
