WASHINGTON – Mikie Sherrill is the type of congresswoman — a moderate Democrat from a battleground district — who in years past might have recoiled at President Joe Biden’s recent call for gun control legislation.
But Sherrill said she supports Biden’s forceful demand to expand background checks and ban assault weapons with “no hesitation.”
“The only place this isn’t bipartisan is in Capitol Hill,” said Sherrill, a New Jersey Democrat, noting her own pledges on gun control that closely mirror the president’s. “We see widespread support for this across the country.”
