: Kamala Harris to make surprise visit to Tennessee after state lawmakers expelled

The office of Vice President Kamala Harris said she’ll take a flight Friday afternoon to Nashville, Tenn., and meet there with state legislators. The trip comes after Tennessee Republicans on Thursday expelled two Democratic lawmakers from the state legislature over their role in a protest that called for more gun control in the aftermath of a deadly school shooting in Nashville. Harris, who initially had no public events on her schedule for Friday, denounced the GOP move in Tennessee in a tweet on Friday, saying it was “undemocratic and dangerous.”
