Democrats decided to end their day-long sit-in protest on the House floor over gun control Thursday.

Rep. John Lewis, who launched the sit-in Wednesday morning that eventually drew 170 lawmakers, lit up social media, and infuriated House Republicans -- but spurred no legislative action -- said the fight was not over.
"We must come back here on July 5th [when Congress returns to session] more determined than ever before," Lewis said.
"We are going to win," he told supporters on the Capitol steps after the sit-in was halted. "The fight is not over. This is just one step of when we come back here on July the 5th we're going to continue to push, to pull, to stand up, and if necessary, to sit down. So don't give up, don't give in. Keep the faith, and keep your eyes on the prize."

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday fired back at Donald Trump's blistering speech from earlier in the day, calling him a candidate of "reckless ideas" who is trying to distract the American public.

"I guess my speech yesterday must have gotten under his skin because right away he lashed out on Twitter with outlandish lies and conspiracy theories and he did the same in his speech today," Clinton said at a campaign rally here in Raleigh.
"He's going after me personally because he has no answers on the substance," she added. "In fact, he doubled down on being the king of debt, so all he can do is try to distract us."
Just hours before, Trump had unleashed a scorching tirade against Clinton, calling her a "world-class liar" as he took the former secretary of state apart on everything from foreign policy to her personality.
