A majority of Alabama voters want Tuberville to end his blockade of military promotions – By Hunter (Daily Kos) / Aug 9, 2023
Hey, here’s a not-surprise. A new poll shows that 58% of Alabama voters want Sen. Coach Tommy Tuberville to end his one-man blockade of the nation’s top military promotions.
The specific language of the poll was whether voters believe Tuberville “has made his point” and should “now allow” the promotions to move forward. Just 36% of voters said Sen. Football should continue to block promotions “endlessly.” Another 45% say Tuberville’s action has made them view him less favorably.
None of this is good news for Tuberville, who has made a name for himself during his brief Senate career mostly for stunts like this and for being racist. Tuberville has premised his unilateral hold on top-end military promotions on the military’s new post-Roe policies allowing administrative leave and travel cost reimbursements to service members stationed in anti-abortion states who must travel elsewhere for abortion care.
