- "The senator from Alabama's hold on hundreds of routine military promotions is reckless, damages the readiness of our military and puts American security in jeopardy," the Senate majority leader said.
- If every elected official blocked military nominations because they disagreed with the policies, "our military would simply grind to a halt." Schumer said.
