President Donald Trump will host the White House’s traditional governors’ meeting later this month but has limited invitations to Republican governors only, breaking a decades‑long bipartisan practice. The National Governors Association said the decision politicizes the event and declined to use NGA resources to support the altered meeting; two Democratic governors — Maryland’s Wes Moore and Colorado’s Jared Polis — were reportedly uninvited from a presidential dinner. Moore criticized the move as a “blatant disrespect,” noting he is the nation’s only Black governor. The White House has not explained why Democrats were excluded, prompting concern about federal‑state collaboration this year. (kgfw.com)
