Trump bars two 'not worthy' governors from annual bipartisan meeting at White House, prompting backlash
"not worthy of being there."
"any ability to get in (Trump's) head."
"I've spent quality time with my colleagues this morning and really learning from one another and taking best practices that Republican or Democratic governors have launched in their state,"
"I didn't run for governor like, man, I can't wait so me and the president can go toe to toe,"
The National Governors Association pulled out of an annual White House meeting after President Donald Trump declined to invite Democratic governors Jared Polis and Wes Moore. Trump still plans to meet with governors at the White House on Friday without NGA facilitation. Trump blasted the two governors on social media as "not worthy of being there." Polis said he lacked "any ability to get in (Trump's) head" but met with governors from both parties and exchanged policy best practices. The incident underscores a confrontational second-term approach by Trump toward state leaders and raises concerns about diminished bipartisan interaction.
