White House Dinner Ends Early Amid Partisan Tensions and Supreme Court Ruling

The White House governors' dinner was overshadowed by partisan exclusions and a Supreme Court ruling that struck down Trump's tariff policy, disrupting a key bipartisan event.

  • Friday's governors' meeting at the White House proceeded without National Governors Association facilitation as the NGA pulled out of its annual event.
  • Mediation efforts by Kevin Stitt, Republican governor of Oklahoma and NGA chair, failed after Trump refused to include Democratic governors Jared Polis and Wes Moore, blasting Stitt as a "RINO" last week.
  • Moore said `I didn't run for governor like, man, I can't wait so me and the president can go toe to toe` during the gathering, highlighting his stance.
  • The pullout undercuts one of Washington's few bipartisan gatherings, and governors criticized the administration's expanding power and the Republican-controlled Congress's inaction.
  • Presidential buzz grew around which governors might run in 2028 as potential 2028 contenders were discussed, while Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky said his focus this year remains on Kentucky.
