Nashville, Tennessee - The two Tennessee lawmakers expelled from the state legislature by Republicans earlier this year have handily won their special election primaries!

Justin Pearson of Memphis and Justin Jones of Nashville had no trouble winning their primaries on Thursday, as both state representatives received resounding support from their constituents at the ballot box.

Pearson garnered a decisive 96% of the vote against challenger David Page in results released Thursday, while Jones ran uncontested.

"The first wave of votes are in and WE WON!!!" Pearson tweeted. "We are now officially the Democratic candidate for the General Election in District 86!! #PeoplePower did this!! Let’s keep going!!!"

The election came after the Republican supermajority in the Tennessee House voted to expel the two Black lawmakers in April. They, along with their Democratic colleague Gloria Johnson, had led demonstrations against gun violence in the state Capitol following a deadly school shooting in Nashville in late March.

Johnson, who is white, narrowly survived her expulsion vote, prompting many to speak out against racism in the process.

In the wake of the controversy, the Tennessee Three were invited to the White House, where President Joe Biden called the expulsions as "undemocratic."

Pearson and Jones were reinstated to their seats in April on an interim basis until their special general election in August.

Pearson is set to face off against Independent Jeff Johnston in that contest, while Jones is up against Republican Laura Nelson.
