ZitatFormer Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-Va.) said that Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) is a "great governor doing a great job" and "we've moved on" from the blackface photo controversy.
Northam attended a canvass kickoff event on Saturday for Democrats in Virginia Beach. Prior to that, Northam was largely absent from campaigning in support of Democratic candidates. In February, McAuliffe and other state Democratic leaders called for Northam to resign after the release of a photo on Northam's college yearbook page showing a person in blackface and another in a KKK outfit. Former Vice President Joe Biden was among the national Democratic leaders who also called for Northam to resign after the release of the photo.
