“It’s past time. Governor Northam should resign so Virginia can move forward,” Schumer said in a tweet.

Though Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) didn’t directly call for Northam’s resignation in a tweet Saturday, she urged him to “do the right thing.”
Northam has faced calls from Democrats and Republicans to resign over a 1984 yearbook photo. He initially apologized on Friday for “the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo.”
“When I was confronted with the images yesterday, I was appalled that they appeared on my page, but I believed then and now that I am not either of the people in that photo,” Northam said during a press conference.
