UVA Center for Politicsâ âDemocracy Dialogueâ revolves around D.C. riots By Max Marcilla | January 6, 2021 at 10:54 PM EST - Updated January 6 at 10:55 PM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - University of Virginiaâs Center for Politics had planned to talk about the political headlines during a âDemocracy Dialogueâ on Wednesday night, but the violence in Washington, D.C. changed the discussion and the insights shared by Larry Sabato.
Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine was supposed to be there virtually, but he was busy on the Senate floor and could not attend. Former Speaker Paul Ryanâs interview was taped Wednesday morning, before the rioters entered the U.S. Capitol. That left Sabato with the task of trying to keep the focus on the news of the day.
