Trump only invites Republican governors to the White House, 'uninvites' the vice chair of the bipartisan National Governors Association to dinner

Nothing unusual here. Presidents of both parties have invited meetings with groups of people of their own party plenty of times in the past.

It wasn't just "a meeting." It was the National Governor's Association dinner of which Moore is the vice chair, a bi-partisan position to which he was elected by both Republican and Democratic governors.

Your Obama example was an expressly partisan strategy meeting regarding the shutdown that was going on at that time. You know that's not nearly the same thing, right?

Moore says Trump not inviting Democratic governors to White House is ‘especislly confounding’​

The New York Times first reported Friday that Trump was only inviting GOP governors to the meeting and did not invite [Maryland gov Wes] Moore and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) to a bipartisan dinner for governors and their families.

Moore wrote on the social platform X on Sunday that he was “uninvited” to the National Governors Association (NGA) dinner, which is typically attended by state executives of both parties. Moore was elected by Democratic and Republican governors to serve as vice chair of the NGA last July and will take over as the group’s chair this year, succeeding Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R).

The Maryland Democrat added the move is “especially confounding” considering that “just weeks ago,” he was part of a bipartisan group of governors that went to the White House to work with the Trump administration on reforms to lower energy costs.

[Ordinarily the NGA would sponsor the event, but since the vice chair has been uninvited..."

“In this time, the president cannot use this time to divide our organization,” he told host Dana Bash. “Our organization stands firm that, if you exclude one, you exclude us all, and this will not be an NGA event.”
