For much of the year, Sen. Tommy Tuberville has prevented hundreds of military promotions.
After a Senate Rule Committee vote on Tuesday, there's an opportunity to circumvent the block.
For it to succeed, around 10 GOP senators need to be on board, which is no guarantee.
He explained his decision to reporters, noting he wants to give his Senate colleagues more time to find a way to stop Tuberville without altering Senate procedure.
But without the support of the head of the Senate GOP, it's increasingly unclear if there will be enough support from members to pass the resolution and put a stop to Tuberville's blockade.
