President Joe Biden called on Republicans to break with Alabama GOP US Senator Tommy Tuberville over his blockade of military promotions, casting the protest over the Pentagon’s abortion policies in stark terms as eroding the readiness of the armed forces.
“The Republican Party used to always support the military, but today they’re undermining the military,” Biden said Thursday in an address at the Truman Civil Rights Symposium at the National Archives Building.
