Fight over Youngkin nominee intensifies as House GOP threatens 1,000 Northam appointments

UPDATE: The @vahousegop ended up blocking about a dozen (I think) Northam appointees as part of the Andrew Wheeler fight.

Most of them were on environmental and education boards.

Youngkin can now make recess appointments for those roles.
