The Tennessee lawmakers who were at the center of a historic expulsion effort earlier this month are expected to meet with President Biden at the White House on Monday.<\/p>\n
Why it matters: <\/strong>Their expulsions triggered a national outcry, igniting a discussion about racism, gun violence, and democratic norms.<\/p>\n Known as the "Tennessee Three,"<\/strong> state Reps. Justin Jones, Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson participated in a gun reform protest on the House floor in the wake of the Nashville school shooting.<\/p>\n The big picture: <\/strong>Experts have warned that the effort to expel the Tennessee Three could have ripple effects in other state legislatures across the country by encouraging majority party lawmakers to use House rules to expel minority party members with diverging views.<\/p>\n This story will be updated with ongoing news updates. <\/em><\/p>\n Biden said his administration had achieved the "most extensive gun legislation in 30 years" but warned "there's more to do" in the fight for gun control.<\/p>\n Biden lauded the state lawmakers' stances on gun reform and said more progress must be made to advance gun control legislation.<\/p>\n\n
