The resolution, introduced by Senate Armed Services Chair Jack Reed, would allow the promotions to be processed together. Schumer plans to bring it to the Senate floor as soon as it clears the Senate Rules Committee. However, it is important to note that Schumer's move does not address the underlying policy that Tuberville opposes.

Tuberville's office released a statement claiming that their actions forced Schumer's hand on the top three military nominees that were advanced on Tuesday evening. Tuberville has been holding up military promotions since February over the Department of Defense's policy on reimbursing travel costs for military members seeking reproductive care outside of their stationed state.

Despite the disagreement over the policy, Schumer's decision to move forward with the confirmations reflects the urgency of the current global crises, including the Israel-Hamas conflict, the war in Ukraine, and the hospitalization of a top military commander.
