Nashville officials to vote on reinstating ousted lawmaker amidst protests and controversy.

Nashville officials will consider sending one of two expelled Democratic lawmakers back to the Tennessee House of Representatives as demonstrators are expected to gather at the state Capitol to protest their removal. Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, who are both Black, were forced out of the legislature in a two-thirds majority vote cast by their Republican colleagues Thursday after participating in a gun control demonstration on the House floor days prior.
