The Senate confirmed three military nominations: Admiral Lisa Franchetti, chief of Naval Operations; General David Allvin, Air Force chief of staff; and Christopher Majoney, Marine Corps assistant commandant. Typically, the Senate quickly confirms dozens or hundreds of military promotions at one time via unanimous consent. These military nominations were forced to a floor vote due to Senator Tommy Tuberville's (R-AL) months-long blockade of hundreds of Pentagon promotions because he disapproves of the Defense Department's policy of reimbursing service members who travel for an abortion.
