US EditionNational Governors Association Withdraws From Trump Meeting Over GOP-Only Invitations
The National Governors Association withdrew to uphold its mission of bipartisan representation after the White House limited invitations to a GOP-only meeting, excluding all 55 governors.
- The NGA announced it will not hold a formal meeting with President Donald Trump when the group meet in Washington, D.C. later this month from Feb. 19-21, including the annual business meeting on February 20.
- The White House informed NGA staff that invitations would be GOP-only for the February 20 business meeting, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, NGA chairman, said in a Monday letter.
- Because the NGA represents all 55 governors, representatives for Stitt, the White House and the NGA did not immediately comment on the letter, reflecting institutional obligations and tensions.
- The move removes one of the few remaining bipartisan venues for governors and the White House, amid signs of tensions last year when Trump and Maine’s then-Governor Mills traded barbs.
- With the NGA meeting set for Feb. 19-21, the decision comes ahead of its scheduled event, and Gov. Mills responded `We'll see you in court.
