Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.), the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, is calling on his colleagues involved in bipartisan talks on gun reform to "do the right thing" following last week's mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas. When asked by CNN "State of the Union" co-anchor Dana Bash on Sunday if lawmakers would take action following the shooting in Uvalde that left 19 students and two teachers slain, Durbin said the photos and stories of the victims have been "compelling" for lawmakers. "I can't say for certain, but I can tell you I sense a different feeling among my colleagues after Uvalde," Durbin said. |
