In Virginia all that is needed to override a veto is a simple majority in both houses.

Overriding a Veto
If the Legislature is still in session when the governor vetoes a bill, a simple majority vote of the members of both legislative bodies is necessary to override the veto. In cases when a budget bill or supplemental appropriation bill is vetoed, a two-thirds vote of the members of both houses is needed to override the veto.

But will that be the next step for this?

I mean they omly had to have simple majorities to pass the bill the first time.
