During the National Governors Association meeting later this month, President Donald Trump, 79, will only convene with Republican governors, state leaders learned on Friday. The move breaks from decades of meetings between the president and governors across the aisle. It also undermines the NGAs stated goal of bipartisanship.
The NGA meeting is scheduled for the weekend of Feb. 19 in Washington, D.C. The change in invite list comes after a series of public sparring matches with Democratic governors, including Californias Gavin Newsom and Minnesotas Tim Walz.
Brandon Tatum, acting Executive Director and CEO of the NGA, said that the organization was disappointed in the administrations decision to make it a partisan occasion this year.
To disinvite individual governors to the White House sessions undermines an important opportunity for federal-state collaboration, Tatum said in a statement to The Daily Beast.

I could see that. Same with the Superbowl and who knows what else.
