The United States Senate has confirmed General CQ Brown as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, one of the highest decision-making bodies in the country’s military.Wednesday’s 83-11 vote came months after President Joe Biden first nominated Brown for the post, as Democrats try to manoeuvre around a protest led by Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville.Since February, Tuberville has blocked the Senate from its routine process of approving military nominations in groups, as part of an effort to pressure the Pentagon to change its abortion policies.
