Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt Reflects on Clash With Trump Ahead of Governors Meeting
Stitt said he pressed Trump to invite all governors, and the president later reversed course after excluding two Democrats from a White House meeting.
- Oklahoma Gov Kevin Stitt hosts the National Governors Association meeting this weekend in Oklahoma City, where he will pass leadership to Maryland Gov Wes Moore, a Democrat.
- Following a Feb dispute, President Donald Trump labeled Stitt a "RINO" after Stitt pressed him to invite all governors to a White House meeting, including two Democrats Trump had sought to exclude.
- Citing Oklahoma's 77 counties, Stitt argues the decentralized system is the "right system" for states to manage their own elections and avoid Washington's overreach on voting procedures.
- Calling for renewed fiscal discipline, Stitt criticized Congress for relying on continuing resolutions rather than passing actual budgets, contrasting current gridlock with the 1994 balanced-budget era under President Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich.
- Addressing political divisiveness, Stitt urged citizens to speak up against "wrong" approaches while confirming he intends to return to private work after his term as Oklahoma Gov ends.
