Expelled Tennessee Democrats regain seats after gun control protest

  • Two Tennessee Democratic lawmakers, Justin Pearson and Justin Jones, were expelled for participating in a gun control protest.
  • They won special elections held last week to regain their seats in heavily Democratic districts.
  • Their protest followed a fatal shooting at a Nashville school and called for stricter gun laws.
  • The expulsions left two primarily Black districts without representation until the special elections.
  • The lawmakers vowed to continue pushing for gun reform when the legislature meets this month.
