White House dinner closes a turbulent week for governors in Washington

On Saturday, governors gather for the annual National Governors Association dinner after a tense week. President Donald Trump has mocked the group’s leaders and initially blocked Democratic Gov. Wes Moore and Gov. Jared Polis from a White House working meeting. He reversed course late. The meeting then ended early after Trump reacted to a Supreme Court ruling Friday that strikes down his tariff policy. Dozens of Democrats had threatened to boycott the dinner Saturday if members of their party were blocked from the working meeting. But even after Moore’s attendance, some said they still wouldn’t show up Saturday.
