How Sen. Tommy Tuberville's hold on military positions is affecting national defense
Since February, Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville has held up promotions and confirmations of hundreds of military members, going up to the Chiefs of Staff, because of his disagreement with the Defense Department’s policy to support members traveling to states where they can access abortion medical care. We talk with a political scientist about how this compares to previous holds in Congress, and how the standoff is affecting the state of U.S. armed forces.
