CHARLESTON, W.Va. (NewsNation Now) — There’s growing pressure from Democrats to remove President Donald Trump from office following the deadly U.S. Capitol riots. However, one Republican governor said the focus needs to be on America, not party division.

Gov. Jim Justice was first elected as a Democrat, but switched to the Republican party in 2017 while on stage with President Trump.
