Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) on Nov. 7 vowed not to back down from his blockade of senior military promotions despite concerns over military readiness and national security, although the lawmaker later suggested he might allow promotions to happen in certain cases.

The Alabama senator made the comments to reporters following a closed-door meeting with Senate Republicans on Tuesday regarding the blockade of more than 400 military promotions.
