Michelle Martin 和 Leila Fadal: 田纳西州众议员 Justin Jones 在被共和党人驱逐几天后,被纳什维尔市议会一致投票恢复职务。这突显了党派政治和枪支管制辩论的紧张局势。恢复是暂时的,Jones 将面临特别选举。 Cynthia Abrams: 纳什维尔市议会迅速一致投票恢复 Jones 的职务,取消了可能延迟投票的规则。这突显了当地对迅速采取行动的渴望,以及在即将休会之际确保 Jones 能继续参与立法进程的重要性。Jones 计划提交枪支管制法案。 Justin J. Pearson 的情况类似,谢尔比县委员会将在周三对他是否恢复职务进行投票。如果两人都恢复职务,他们都将面临特别选举。 共和党对 Jones 恢复职务的反应相对平静,但全国都在关注田纳西州的后续发展,尤其是共和党对 Jones 枪支法案的回应。 Justin Hicks: 肯塔基州路易斯维尔市发生一起大规模枪击事件,一名银行员工在直播枪击事件后被警方击毙。事件造成六人死亡,多人受伤,包括两名警官。路易斯维尔市居民对枪击事件感到震惊,因为许多受害者是他们认识的人。调查将集中在枪手的动机和所用武器上,但官员们表示,他们希望关注遇难者、住院者和所有受创伤的人。枪击事件再次引发了关于美国枪支暴力的讨论。 Tamara Keith: 拜登总统访问爱尔兰是为了纪念《耶稣受难日协议》签署25周年,并加强美爱关系。尽管北爱尔兰的权力分享政府目前无法运作,但拜登的重点是强调和平与稳定带来的经济机遇。此行既有外交目的,也有个人意义,因为他将探访自己的爱尔兰家族根源。拜登经常引用爱尔兰诗歌,这与他的爱尔兰天主教背景有关,这在政治上具有重要意义,因为他比肯尼迪更公开地展现自己的爱尔兰身份。
