U.S. President Trump Faces Backlash as National Governors Association Withdraws from White House Meeting

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with state governors at the White House on February 20, but the event will proceed without the support of the National Governors Association (NGA). According to Jin10, the NGA decided to withdraw from the annual meeting after President Trump declined to invite two Democratic governors. The NGA, established over a century ago, aims to assist bipartisan state leaders in advocating for their interests in Washington. The absence of the NGA marks a significant shift in the traditional bipartisan nature of these meetings.
