Tommy Tuberville is just the latest Republican foil.

Biden didn’t single Tuberville out at random. He has annoyed those in and around the White House by touting federal infrastructure programs in Alabama paid for by funding he voted against. This summer, he drew brutal headlines for equivocating over whether. But it’s his unilateral block on military promotions over a Department of Defense policy reimbursing servicemembers who travel to obtain an abortion that has infuriated those close to Biden and visibly frustrated the president.
Biden’s criticism for Tuberville has appeared to come from a place of particular exasperation, but it’s also an obvious political tool for the president. The senator, after all, is only the latest in a growing list of Republican office-holders who Biden likes to call out to illustrate his broader argument about the extremism of the MAGA wing of the GOP without drawing himself into an unproductive, unpredictable, and attention-sucking back-and-forth with Donald Trump himself.
By that point Biden had already been needling Tuberville over his infrastructure comments; Tuberville had shot back at Biden’s “See you at the groundbreaking” by asking whether he meant the groundbreaking for Space Command in Alabama.
