U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris met with state lawmakers in Tennessee on Friday after two members of her Democratic party were expelled from the legislature for their actions alongside protesters pushing for stricter gun control laws after last month’s deadly shooting at a Nashville school. U.S. President Joe Biden separately spoke with the two lawmakers, along with a third who narrowly retained her seat, and invited them to the White House, praising the trio for "seeking to ban assault weapons and standing up for our democratic values."
