Expelled 'Tennessee Three' members reclaim state House seats

Tennessee Representatives Justin Pearson and Justin Jones, who were expelled from the Statehouse for participating in a gun control protest, have won back their legislative seats in a special election. The young Black lawmakers faced opponents in districts that heavily favor Democrats and easily defeated them. While their reelection won't significantly impact the Republican supermajority, they are expected to push back against their GOP colleagues' policies. Pearson and Jones were initially expelled after joining a protest for gun control on the House floor, but their actions garnered national support and significant campaign fundraising.
