Still Reeling, Democrats are Desperately Copying Youngkin’s Ideas Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Rich Anderson issued the following statement, “Voters rejected Democrats’ path forward and voted for Glenn Youngkin’s Day One Game Plan in November.

So what is Governor Northam doing on his way out the door? Trying to trick Virginians into thinking that Democrats support
VAGOP STATEMENT ON GOV. RALPH NORTHAM EMBRACING GOV. ELECT YOUNGKIN’S ‘DAY ONE GAME PLAN’ “We’re glad to see Governor Northam admit Governor-Elect Youngkin’s Day One Game Plan is the right path for Virginia – despite campaigning against it for months. It’s a little embarrassing, however, that Northam couldn’t be more original, copying the Youngkin playbook down to events at a grocery stores. Today’s announcement is a positive sign of things to come under the leadership of Gov-elect Youngkin, after years of failure Virginians have been subjected to from the Democrats.” ###
