Despite the growing tension, Gov. Northam released a statement identifying his intentions to serve out the remainder of his term.

Several members of both the Democratic and the Republican party have requested that Northam relinquish his position as Governor of the Commonwealth, including Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney, who released this statement on Friday:

“Governor Northam has a long and distinguished history of service to our Commonwealth and nation, but he should do the honorable thing and step down.”

Protesters took to the streets of Richmond Saturday morning rallying for Northam’s resignation.

So far, there have been no additional statements from the Governor. For more information on this breaking story click here.
