CNN politics reporter Dan Merica reported on the protest this morning, saying that they’re not only calling for Northam to leave, but “expressly calling for [Justin] Fairfax to take over as soon as possible.” He also noted that almost everyone said they voted for Northam and would “like their vote back.”
