特朗普称两党州长均受邀参加白宫活动,仅排除两名民主党州长


更新于:2026年2月11日 / 美国东部时间晚上8:58 / CBS新闻

总统特朗普周三表示,几乎所有州长都可参加下周的正式会议和晚宴,但马里兰州和科罗拉多州的民主党州长仍被排除在外。

根据全美州长协会(NGA)及一位知情人士透露,白宫最初计划在2月20日一年一度的全美州长协会会议期间,将民主党州长排除在正式的两党工作会议之外。

两名民主党州长——马里兰州的韦斯·摩尔(Wes Moore)和科罗拉多州的贾里德·波利斯(Jared Polis)表示,他们上周五接到NGA通知,不会被邀请参加2月21日与总统、州长及其配偶的白宫单独晚宴。

但在白宫与NGA主席、俄克拉荷马州州长凯文·斯蒂特(Kevin Stitt)沟通后,该组织和总统周三表示,两党州长均可参加会议和晚宴。民主党州长于周三晚间开始收到工作会议的邀请,不过NGA尚未收到关于白宫晚宴的更新信息。

斯蒂特周三向所有55个州和地区的州长通报,所有州长均被邀请参加2月20日的正式会议。

“他在与我沟通时明确表示,这是全美州长协会的活动,他期待接待你们并听取来自全国各地州长的意见。特朗普总统表示这一直是他的初衷,我们已经解决了日程安排上的误解,”斯蒂特在致州长的信息中写道,该信息由CBS新闻获取。

在斯蒂特发出信息后,特朗普在周三下午的Truth Social帖子中表示,摩尔和波利斯仍被排除在外。他暗示自己与斯蒂特之间存在误解。

“邀请发给了所有州长,除了两位,我认为他们不配参加,”特朗普写道,并补充称”我甚至邀请了他的两名政治对手——伊利诺伊州州长JB·普里茨克和加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森。所以,和往常一样,斯蒂特搞错了!邀请发给了所有其他州长,无论民主党还是共和党。”

据知情人士透露,摩尔周三仍收到了正式会议的邀请。

目前尚不清楚波利斯是否也收到了该会议的邀请。科罗拉多州州长发言人表示:”无论科罗拉多州是否被邀请参加任何活动,波利斯州长都将继续专注于与其他州长及所有希望改善民众生活的人合作。”CBS新闻已联系白宫寻求置评。

NGA表示,白宫2月5日通知该组织,仅共和党州长会被邀请参加正式工作会议。由于这些排除措施,NGA次日表示不会安排该会议或列入该组织的正式日程。斯蒂特在周一的致州长信中重申了这一点,并称赞摩尔是NGA”杰出的副主席”。

在民主党州长被排除在会议之外的报道传出后,几乎所有民主党州长周二发表联合声明,称出于对摩尔和波利斯的支持,他们不会参加任何白宫活动,包括晚宴。

特朗普在周三的帖子中称,不邀请波利斯是因为对科罗拉多州前县选举官员蒂娜·彼得斯(Tina Peters)的监禁存在分歧。总统数月来一直施压波利斯,要求赦免彼得斯,她因非法访问投票机被多项州指控判处9年徒刑。

特朗普还称摩尔”脏话连篇”,并声称其夸大了获得军事勋章的经历,而摩尔表示这是2006年白宫奖学金申请中的一个诚实错误。此后,他因在阿富汗部署期间获得了银星勋章。

总统还批评斯蒂特是”RINO”(仅具共和党名义者)。斯蒂特曾在2024年共和党总统初选中支持特朗普的前对手佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯。

摩尔本周早些时候在一份声明中称,不邀请他的决定”是对两党联邦-州合作精神公然的不尊重和冷遇”。

波利斯的发言人将此称为”对州长与白宫现任者之间传统两党活动的令人失望的决定”。

去年会议期间,两党州长均参加了白宫会议和晚宴。此次会议因特朗普与缅因州民主党州长珍妮特·米尔斯的言语冲突而备受关注,总统就跨性别女性参加体育运动问题向米尔斯施压,米尔斯回应称:”法庭上见。”

Trump says governors from both parties are invited to White House events, except 2 Democrats

Updated on: February 11, 2026 / 8:58 PM EST / CBS News

President Trump said Wednesday that nearly all governors are welcome at the White House for a formal meeting and dinner next week, though the Democratic governors of Maryland and Colorado are still being excluded.

The White House was initially going to exclude Democratic governors from a formal, typically bipartisan business meeting on Feb. 20 during the annual National Governors Association (NGA) conference, according to the NGA and a source familiar with the White House’s planning.

And two Democratic governors, Wes Moore of Maryland and Jared Polis of Colorado, said they were informed by the NGA last Friday they would not be invited to a separate dinner at the White House on Feb. 21 with the president, the governors and their spouses.

But after talks between the White House and Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican who chairs the NGA, the organization and the president said Wednesday that governors from both parties are welcome to both the meeting and the dinner. Democratic governors began receiving invitations on Wednesday evening to the business meeting, though the NGA did not receive updates about the White House dinner.

Gov. Stitt informed governors of all 55 states and territories on Wednesday that all are invited to the formal meeting on Feb. 20.

“He was very clear in his communications with me that this is a National Governors Association’s event, and he looks forward to hosting you and hearing from governors across the country. President Trump said this was always his intention, and we have addressed the misunderstanding in scheduling,” Stitt wrote in a message to governors obtained by CBS News.

In a Wednesday afternoon Truth Social post after Stitt’s message was sent, Mr. Trump wrote that Moore and Polis are still excluded. He suggested there was a misunderstanding between him and Stitt.

“The invitations were sent to ALL Governors, other than two, who I feel are not worthy of being there,” Trump wrote, adding that he “even invited” two of his political foes, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. “So, as usual with him, Stitt got it WRONG! The Invitations were sent out to all other Governors, Democrat and Republican.”

Moore still received an invite on Wednesday to the formal meeting, according to a source familiar with the matter.

It is unclear if Polis received an invitation to that meeting as well. A spokesperson for the Colorado governor said “no matter what events Colorado is or isn’t invited to, Governor Polis will continue to focus on working with his fellow governors and anyone who wants to help make people’s lives better.” CBS News has reached out to the White House.

The NGA said it was informed by the White House on Feb. 5 that only Republican governors would be invited to the formal business meeting. Because of these exclusions, the NGA said the following day that it would not facilitate that meeting or put it on the group’s official schedule. Stitt reiterated that in a letter to governors on Monday, and defended Moore as “an exceptional vice chair” for the NGA.

After reports of Democratic governors being excluded from the meeting, nearly every Democratic governor put out a joint statement Tuesday that indicated they wouldn’t attend any White House events, including the dinner, out of solidarity with Moore and Polis.

In his Wednesday post, Mr. Trump cited a disagreement over the imprisonment of former Colorado county election clerk Tina Peters as the reason for not inviting Polis. The president has pushed Polis for months to grant clemency to Peters, who is serving a nine-year sentence on multiple state charges related to unauthorized access to voting machines.

And Mr. Trump called Moore “foul mouthed” and claimed he had embellished receiving military medals, though Moore has said it was an honest mistake on a White House fellowship application in 2006. He has since received a Bronze Star for his deployment to Afghanistan.

The president also criticized Stitt, calling him a “RINO,” or Republican in name only. Stitt had backed Mr. Trump’s former opponent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, during the 2024 Republican presidential primaries.

Moore called the decision not to invite him “another example of blatant disrespect and a snub to the spirit of bipartisan federal-state partnership” in a statement earlier this week.

A Polis spokesperson called it a “disappointing decision for a traditionally bipartisan event between Governors and whomever occupies the White House.”

Governors from both parties attended a White House meeting and dinner during last year’s conference. The meeting drew attention for a verbal scuffle between Mr. Trump and Maine Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, in which the president pressed Mills on the issue of transgender women in sports, and Mills responded: “We’ll see you in court.”
