President Joe Biden has decided to keep the United States Space Command headquarters in Colorado, overturning a last-ditch decision by the Trump administration to move it to Alabama.

Gen. James Dickinson, the head of Space Command, reportedly convinced Biden to keep everything in Colorado because moving would jeopardize military readiness, according to a senior administration official.

Biden's decision will set off a fierce response from Alabama lawmakers, while their Coloradoan colleagues have already issued statements of support.

“Over the past two and half years, we have repeatedly made the case that the Trump administration’s decision to relocate U.S. Space Command was misguided. Today’s decision restores integrity to the Pentagon’s basing process and sends a strong message that national security and the readiness of our Armed Forces drive our military decisions. Colorado is the rightful home for U.S. Space Command, and our state will continue to lead America in space for years to come,” Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) said in a statement.

Lawmakers from each state have jockeyed for months for their state to be the permanent base. Colorado lawmakers said it would take less time to get the temporary base to full capacity than moving to Huntsville and getting the base up and running there, while Alabama politicians have cited the department's initial decision and a subsequent review of that process.

Biden's decision will ultimately fuel speculation that Alabama's restrictive abortion laws played a role in the decision, though a White House official has previously denied it was a factor in the decision-making process.
