President Biden to meet with "Tennessee Three" on Monday, White House announces

President Biden will meet with a trio of Tennessee lawmakers who faced expulsion votes from the state legislature after they joined a protest demanding action on gun control on the House floor, the White House announced Wednesday.

Democratic Representatives Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson — collectively known as the "Tennessee Three" — joined a group of protesters at the state capitol following the shooting at a private school in Nashville that left three children and three adults dead. 

"I'm pleased to share that the president looks forward to welcoming Tennessee state Representative Justin Jones, Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson to the White House this coming Monday," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at Wednesday's White House press briefing. Jean-Pierre said that the president had already spoken with the three lawmakers following their expulsion votes earlier this month.
