Katie Britt said during the event. \u201cObviously, the Biden administration chose to make this political.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement is just the latest development in a yearslong back and forth about which of the two states should host the the military command, which is charged with operating the Defense Department\u2019s space assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The headquarters has been provisionally based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, since 2019. In 2021, just as Trump was leaving office at the end of his first term, the White House announced Huntsville, Alabama, as its pick for the headquarters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision sparked pushback from Colorado lawmakers, largely led by former Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., who called the Air Force\u2019s selection process \u201cfundamentally flawed.\u201d A series of Government Accountability Office and DOD Inspector General reports followed,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2022\/06\/02\/government-watchdog-finds-major-flaws-in-us-space-command-basing-process\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2022\/06\/02\/government-watchdog-finds-major-flaws-in-us-space-command-basing-process\/\"> identifying issues with transparency and credibility<\/a> in the Air Force\u2019s basing process but concluded that the service followed the law in choosing Alabama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the conclusion of the watchdog investigations \u2014 and then-Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall\u2019s <a href=\"\" rel=\"\" title=\"\">support for relocating the command to Huntsville<\/a> due to estimates that the move would save DOD $426 million \u2014 the White House announced in July 2023 that it had abandoned the first Trump administration\u2019s decision and that Space Command would remain in Colorado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s announcement that he would revert to his earlier, 2021 decision to base the command\u2019s headquarters in Alabama was widely expected. However, his insistence Tuesday that the move was closely linked to Colorado\u2019s embrace of mail-in voting \u2014 a major concern for the president \u2014 was not previously publicly identified as part of his administration\u2019s justification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than once during the briefing he called Colorado\u2019s policy of allowing voters to submit ballots by mail as \u201ccrooked\u201d and claimed it influenced his decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen the state is for mail-in voting, that means they want dishonest elections,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThat played a big factor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As president, Trump has been forward leaning on space policy. During his first term in 2019 he created the U.S. Space Force and reestablished Space Command as the 11th combatant command. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later in the briefing, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-AL, indicated the new command would be named the \u201cDonald J. Trump Space Command Center.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force and Space Command deferred questions about the claim to Tuberville\u2019s office. A spokesman for the senator said he \u201cis exploring avenues to make that the official name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSen. Tuberville believes that naming U.S. Space Command headquarters after the guy who created Space Force and has brought Space Command back to life is more than appropriate,\u201d the spokesperson told Defense News in an email. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twice Tuesday, Trump said Colorado\u2019s mail-in voting policies influenced his decision to move SPACECOM headquarters
