AP: Trump’s refusal to invite all governors to a White House meeting prompts group to back out
The National Governors Association withdrew after President Trump excluded two Democratic governors, disrupting a bipartisan forum that included 36 governors, officials said.
- After President Trump declined to invite two governors, the NGA said it is pulling out of the Friday White House meeting, while the event is still scheduled to occur.
- Amid growing partisan friction in Washington, the NGA said President Trump refused to invite two Democratic governors, escalating tensions and prompting the NGA's withdrawal.
- Kevin Stitt, NGA chair, said he would still participate Thursday, while Wes Moore, NGA vice chair, said Wednesday he has no desire to 'have beef' with the president.
- The NGA pullout removes a rare bipartisan forum, diminishing opportunities for governors to share best practices amid broader tensions over executive power.
- Observers warn the dispute could deepen partisan divides between state leaders and the federal government amid 2028 presidential speculation, including governors like Moore and Polis.
