MLK Jr. Day Massacre (of Democratic Legislation) in the Virginia Senate
Northam
Many pundits seem to be taking the election results as a message to the Virginia GOP to cooperate with the Democratic Party and the Northam Administration  to seek “moderate ” “bipartisan” paths forward. For example  Washington Post reporting on the inauguration emphasized cordiality  bipartisanship  and how Republicans are (seemingly) reaching out to work with Democratic Party politicians.
Now  Governor Northam  has taken the massive Democratic Party base enthusiasm as a mandate for pursuing bipartisanship.  His  inauguration address provided a strong window on this  with  his  only mention of “Democratic” coming alongside “Republican” for saying — in essence — party labels simply don’t matter for governing.
When it comes to “solving problems”  the Virginia Senate today dealt with a set of Northam’s legislative priorities — including mild gun control measures that even the NRA recently stated that they were in favor of (banning bump stocks post Las Vegas massacre) .
Governor Northam embraces and lauds bipartisanship.
