Tennessee lawmakers expelled over mass shooting protest meet with Kamala Harris.

Vice President Kamala Harris visited Tennessee and criticized the Republican-controlled state House for expelling two Black Democratic lawmakers who protested for more gun control following a school shooting in Nashville. Harris called for tougher firearm laws, including background checks, red flag laws, and restrictions on assault rifles. She met privately with the expelled lawmakers and young people advocating for gun control. President Biden also spoke with the lawmakers and invited them to visit the White House. The expulsions drew accusations of racism, but Republican leadership denied that race was a factor.
