RICHMOND, Va. (AP) A weekend of pomp and circumstance is underway in Richmond as Virginia's newly elected Republican leaders are set to take office. Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin , Attorney General-elect Jason Miyares and Lieutenant Gov.-elect Winsome Sears will be sworn in Saturday afternoon during an outdoor ceremony in front of the historic state Capitol.
Striking a tone of bipartisanship and optimism, Virginia s new Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, pledged to "restore trust in government and to restore power to the people" as he was sworn in to office Saturday in Richmond.
"During the campaign, it was made clear that now Attorney General-elect Miyares and Attorney General Herring have very different visions for the office," said Miyares spokeswoman Victoria LaCivita by email.
