US EditionMoore Says Trump Not Inviting Democratic Governors to White House Is ‘Particularly Confusing’
- During this year's NGA meeting in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump excluded Democratic governors and uninvited Gov. Wes Moore and Gov. Jared Polis from the dinner.
- The NGA's long-standing dinner is a bipartisan tradition since 1908, with a bipartisan executive board of four Republicans and five Democrats, meant to foster unity after governors meet in Washington, D.C.
- Moore said in a statement that `This week, I learned that I was uninvited to this year's National Governors Association dinner` despite recent bipartisan energy talks, he noted.
- The NGA responded that it would not sponsor the dinner if any governors were excluded, while Brandon Tatum, NGA CEO, criticized the White House for undermining federal-state collaboration.
- With 22 other Democratic governors invited, Wes Moore, Governor of Maryland and NGA vice chair, said his exclusion raises federal-state collaboration and representation concerns.
