White House reverses its non-invitation to black govenror

The Hill- Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) said he will attend the National Governors Association (NGA) meeting with President Trump on Friday after the White House reversed course, once again, and extended the invitation to the Democratic governor, a source familiar told The Hill.

Moore, the vice chair of the NGA, made his announcement shortly before the business breakfast was slated to begin. .. . .

Trump had initially opted to invite only Republican governors to the traditionally bipartisan gathering, which coincides with the NGA winter meeting in Washington, D.C., but changed course after the Republican chair, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, said the NGA would not back the event, as it has in the past, unless all Democratic governors were included. 

All Democratic governors subsequently received invitations to the meeting, but Moore and Polis later heard from the White House that their invitations had been rescinded.
