Surprised Gov. Stitt had it in him.

and that the event "is no longer included in [the NGA's] official program."

The event may still happen. The Repug govs may still all go to the WH at the same day/time.

These are career politicians. Even if you take their words as true, you still have to parse the language closely.

...for some repub governors with gumption (assuming there are a few) to cancel because it's not an official event.
We shall see.

It simply will not be an official function of the.NGA.

Can you tell me who's going to win next year's superbowl so I can put a bet down now?

Your question suggestions you are unaware how sycophantic Republicans governors are with Trump.

And Stitt of course. And Cox. They all bow to the petulant pedophile.

He's saying that the annual event will still take place but the part where they meet with the POTUS wont.

That statement leaves open that there may still be a meeting at the WH between only Repug govs and The Dotard, either at the previously scheduled day and time or any other. It just wouldn't be a nominal NGA event.

The NGA is having an annual event in DC on February 19-21. That event is still happening. Traditionally, part of that event is a meeting between the all the Governors and the President. That traditional meeting has been removed from the agenda for the NGA meeting. The rest of the NGA meeting will still take place.

Will be interesting to see who goes anyway.

The fact that this comes from the state where 2020 stolen election propaganda will be taught as fact in state public schools is significant.

However, if such a meeting still happens after NGA steps away as facilitator we all need to pay close attention. This could be a step in an attempt to plan midterm election interference.

wherein Republican Govs are likely trying to have it both ways.

When you lose "safe" local seats by double digits, local politicians notice.

... until morale improves

where all governors are invited except for a black one and a gay one?
BREAKING: Democrats now to boycott the dinner. And what will the magats do?

...event--it is still an important thing for the NGA to have done.

The fact that a Republican chairman of the NGA can still see beyond the politics and recognize the mission of a bipartisan organization is a very small win for normalcy--but a win nonetheless.

I'm sure TPUSA will step in to "facilitate" it--complete with a Kid Rock intermission--but that will just be another bad look for MAGA....

It would be wonderful if they all decide to skip it, but I'm filing that under "Things That I Don't Expect To Happen But Will Be Presently Surprised If They Do."

that it was Republicans only, so he could threaten them all at one time........They will all come anyways, to be told what the 2025 dictates, He dictates, and what Putin is dictating for the upcoming year. And especially all the ways that they have planned to corrupt the elections...........And that all of them better fall in line, or they will be screwed over royal as retaliation..........

The Blue States are already getting trashed, in every way the Republicans can dream up........

We here in Colorado are really getting dumped on by the Republicans......it was notched up a great deal when Governor Polis recently refused to pardon the corrupt, if not treasonous act, by a Republican Election Official ,who was found guilty of her acts and is in prison. (Trump can't pardon her because it is a "State" matter)

show everyone who they really are, the desire for a total racist dictatorship.

really want to listen to Trumps nonsense either.

But they probably will anyway.

Slap int the Nazi PEDO's Ugly face in the WH.

TY So Much!

in their states. He couldn't care less about the state of their states.
