GET ME REWRITE: Senate Republicans eagerly wait the end of The Tommy Tuberville Clown Show

 
HeadlineThe Downballot, 5/22/2025

David Nir and Jeff Singer report:
Tuberville himself still has yet to confirm he'll run for Ivey's job, but Punchbowl says that his kickoff will take place next week. Many of Tuberville's fellow Republicans in the Senate will be eagerly awaiting this announcement, as it means they'll soon be done having to deal with him. 
Tuberville earned national attention in February of 2023 when he used parliamentary rules to single-handedly prevent the Senate from confirming any military promotions. The Alabamian justified his blockade by citing a Defense Department policy paying for service members to travel so that they could receive abortion care, but even his ideological allies expressed disgust with his actions.
