Senator Tommy Tuberville

Sen. Tommy Tuberville bets Alabama will back his military blockade: NBC News – July 18

… Richard Fording, a political science professor at The University of Alabama, said that because such a “disproportionate” share of the state’s population has served, or is serving, in the military, Tuberville’s strategy is “risky.” “He’s certainly putting sort of his own interests ahead of the interests of the party, and I don’t think that this is going to serve him well,” Fording said. “And to the extent that voters in Alabama, Republicans, are sort of sophisticated enough to understand the implications of that, then I think that could hurt him.” But, he added, Tuberville may be fine unless his hold starts affecting rank-and-file military members and their families. “Ultimately in Alabama, the way it’ll be interpreted is standing up for the right principles. And so, it probably won’t hurt him,” Fording said. “But nationally, I think it’s not good for the Republican Party at all.”
