Terry McAuliffe chose Northam as his Lt Gov

And then Northam was elected as McAuliffe's successor.

How does this affect McAuliffe's potential bid for the White House?

Wouldn't his vetting process come under fire?

I googled it but couldn't find whether Terry has commented yet on his former lieutenant's controversy.

The Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General are each elected individually in a state wide election.

He's demanding resignation-I guess he sees Northram as a sacrifice to McAuliffe's presidential ambitions.

if he does run. i don't think he is going to run and if he does i don't think he has much chance of winning anyways.

Northam had a good record and he was a good governor. this wasn't a case of knowing he did something bad and trying to cover it up.
