With the help of eight Democrats, the Senate managed to get the sixty votes needed to approve a bill to re-open the government. The Federal government is open after the longest shut down in history, but the move has caused a rift within the Democratic Party because the bill does not include plans to continue federal subsidies to keep healthcare insurance premiums affordable. In the midst of all of this, Virginia votes solid blue in its statewide elections delivering 13 new seats to the House of Delegates and a win at the top of the ticket with the election of Abigail Spanberger as Governor, Ghazala Hashmi as Lieutenant Governor, and Jay Jones as Attorney General. Is this a foretelling of things to come? The pundits weigh in on this edition of Another View. Joining host Barbara Hamm Lee is Norfolk City Treasurer Daun Hester, President of the Hampton NAACP Gaylene Kanoyton, Award Winning Comedienne Allison Moore, and legal analyst Dr. Eric Claville.
