- Governor Ralph Northamsays he's staying in office

despite that growing chorus ofdemands for his resignation.

In Richmond.

- Eat this one and resign.

- [Amber] The angry voices of Virginians

fill the streets outsidethe Governor's Mansion.

On Friday, Northam apologized

and said he was one of two people pictured

in that racist photo appearing in the 1984

Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook.

But on Saturday.

- I was appalled thatthey appeared on my page,

but I believed then and now

that I am not either ofthe people in that photo.

- [Amber] His friend andformer Virginia Governor

Terry McAuliffe isn't buying it.

- Instinctively, you know if you put

black paint on your face.

You know if you put a hood on.

- [Amber] He's just one ofa multitude of Democrats

condemning the governor.

With race relations a likelyhot button issue for 2020,

nearly every major declaredand potential candidate

were on the record early,

rebuking Northam andsaying he should resign.

President Trump also joining in.

But at least one Democrat

thinks Northam should remain in office.

- Because I think it is a rush to judgment

before we know all of the facts.

Facts that we do know, thatRalph has expanded Medicaid

to hundreds of thousandsof uninsured Virginians,

a disproportionate number ofwhom are African Americans.

- [Amber] Even so, McAuliffe,like other Democrats,

believe it's time to moveon to new leadership.

- We have to move Virginia forward.

Justin Fairfax, AfricanAmerican lieutenant governor,

will do a great job ofbringing folks back together.

- 39-year-old Fairfax isa Columbia Law graduate

and the second African American in history

to win a statewide election in Virginia.
