The Senate GOP conference is set to hold a special meeting on Tuesday afternoon as Republicans in the upper chamber search for a solution to Sen. Tommy Tuberville's military holds in light of a proposed work around by Democrats.

The Hill reported that the Alabama Republican's block has lasted since March and impacts more than 370 military promotions.

The Senate, circumventing holds by Tuberville, last week confirmed some nominations, including two senior military leaders, according to The Associated Press. Tuberville has maintained there is "zero chance" he will drop the holds, which he first announced in February. Despite several high-level vacancies and the growing backlog of nominations, he has said he will continue to hold the nominees up unless the Pentagon ends — or puts to a vote in Congress — its new policy of paying for travel when a service member has to go out of state to get an abortion or other reproductive care.

Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, who served in the Marines for 30 years, last week led an effort that included calls for 61 promotions to be advanced. Each one was objected to by Tuberville.
