Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville vowed to contest President Joe Biden’s decision to keep U.S. Space Command in Colorado rather than move it to his state as originally planned.
“This is absolutely not over. I will continue to fight this as long as it takes to bring Space Command where it would be best served—Huntsville, Alabama,” Tuberville said. “Today’s disastrous mistake just adds to the long string of bad decisions that this compromised President has made. He is batting 1000 in that category since taking office.”
The decision comes as Tuberville feuds with the White House and the Pentagon over the Department of Defense’s policy of providing paid leave and travel for service members to obtain abortions in states where it is legal.
Tuberville has placed a blanket hold on military nominations in protest of that policy, which the White House has said undermines military readiness.
