With Virginia limiting its governors to a single term, Ralph Northam can’t run for re-election this year. It’s still startling that he’ll manage to finish out this term. Back in 2019, Northam was embroiled in scandal. A photo on his medical school yearbook page showed a man in blackface. At first, the Democrat said he was in the photo, then he denied it. “Everybody in the Democratic Party that mattered demanded Northam’s resignation, not just in Virginia but nationally,” recalls Larry Sabato, who directs UVA’s Center for Politics.
