That came after the Virginia Democratic Party tweeted that it had received word that Northam would not be resigning over the photo as they believed he should. NORTHAM APOLOGIZES FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL YEARBOOK PHOTO WITH BLACKFACE, KKK ROBE"We stand with Democrats across Virginia and the country calling him to immediately resign," the party said in a statement. On Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on Northam to "do the right thing" and called the photo "racist and contrary to fundamental American values." Democrats hoping to secure their party’s nod for the 2020 presidential election also called for Northam to step aside. Republicans too joined the calls that Northam should step down with Virginia GOP Chairman Jack Wilson saying his pledge to fix the damage wasn’t enough.
