Biden invites Tennessee lawmakers subjected to expulsion votes to White House

President Biden on Friday spoke with the three Tennessee state lawmakers targeted with expulsion votes for protesting gun violence on the House floor and invited them to visit the White House.

Biden spoke via conference call from Camp David with Democratic state Reps. Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson, the White House said in a statement.

“The President thanked them for their leadership in seeking to ban assault weapons and standing up for our democratic values,” the White House said. “The officials thanked the President for his leadership on gun safety and for spotlighting the undemocratic and unprecedented attacks on them this week in the Tennessee statehouse.”
Biden invited them to visit the White House in the near future, though no official date was given.
