A Vermont Republican state senator is under pressure to resign due to his involvement in a racist group chat.
Gov. Phil Scott called on Senator Douglass to resign after a leaked group chat showed racist and antisemitic language used by Douglass and his wife.

Douglass, 27, was part of a historic red wave last November that saw the GOP pick up six seats in the Vermont Senate.
