President Joe Biden’s administration has made a significant nomination, with potentially far-reaching implications for the Marine Corps. Gen. Eric Smith, the current assistant commandant, has been handpicked to take on the top officer role. The Senate confirmation will decide his fate. If approved, Gen. Smith will replace Gen. David Berger as the commandant of the Marine Corps. Meanwhile, conservative senator Sen. Tuberville has taken a stand against the administration’s policies on abortion, blocking all military nominations until his demands are met.
