Ahead of Donald Trump’s visit to Alabama for the state Republican Party’s Summer Dinner, the Biden campaign slammed the former president’s appearance later Friday in Montgomery as an endorsement of Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s “reckless political antics.”

While the Biden-Harris campaign made the statement about Trump “campaigning with Tommy Tuberville this evening in Alabama,” the dinner at the Renaissance Hotel was not billed by the Alabama Republican Party as a campaign event.

The Biden campaign said Trump’s upcoming appearance in Alabama was an endorsement of Tuberville’s hold on more than 260 military promotions in protest of new Department of Defense policies on abortion.

The policies also provide transportation allowances to travel to states where reproductive care is more expansive.

Tuberville’s priorities are clear: they’re more concerned with their extreme agenda than with actually governing and protecting this nation.”

Tuberville has disputed claims that his hold is harming the military, pointing to military officials who testified the tactic is not impairing readiness:
