俄克拉荷马州州长凯文·斯蒂特本周抵达华盛顿，收到了来自愤怒的总统唐纳德·特朗普的两次白宫会议邀请。
特朗普与美国全国州长协会（NGA）主席斯蒂特就是否应邀请所有州长参加通常为两党制的年度活动存在分歧。特朗普政府最初只邀请了共和党人，这导致斯蒂特告诉各州州长，NGA不会在周五上午活动的协调方面发挥作用。
特朗普还在其社交媒体平台Truth Social上宣布，他不会邀请两名民主党州长——马里兰州的韦斯·摩尔和科罗拉多州的贾里德·波利斯（Jared Polis）参加周六的白宫晚宴。特朗普称摩尔和波利斯“不配出席”。
由于并非所有州长都被邀请，斯蒂特最初在给NGA成员的一封信中表示，该协会不会在协调白宫商务会议方面发挥作用。几天后，斯蒂特告诉州长们，白宫已改变主意，邀请所有州长参加周五上午的会议。“特朗普总统表示这一直是他的意图，我们已就日程安排中的误解进行了澄清，”斯蒂特在给州长们的信中说。
但损害已经造成。18名民主党州长表示他们将抵制周六的晚宴，一些人还表示不会参加周五上午的会议。
这最终重新点燃了特朗普与斯蒂特之间长期存在的冲突，斯蒂特是少数几位愿意公开挑战总统的共和党民选官员之一。
一名白宫官员告诉CNN，私下里，特朗普对斯蒂特感到愤怒，因为斯蒂特所在的州在总统选举中压倒性地支持特朗普，却“为两名民主党州长辩护”。
官员称，特朗普直接致电斯蒂特发泄不满，告诉他这是他的白宫，他可以随意邀请或不邀请任何人。随后，特朗普在社交媒体上接连发布多条针对俄克拉荷马州州长的批评内容。

斯蒂特在周三米尔肯研究所（Milken Institute）主办的活动中告诉CNN的达娜·巴什（Dana Bash），他告诉特朗普总统可以“随意邀请任何人参加白宫活动”，但如果不是所有州长都被邀请，就不能称为NGA活动。
“我认为讨论这些问题的能力非常重要，我认为美国人民希望看到这种情况发生，”斯蒂特说。
特朗普与斯蒂特的争端历史
州长们的白宫之行泡汤是特朗普与民主党州领导人斗争的最新例证。
然而，斯蒂特是来自深红州的保守派、两任共和党州长，特朗普在三次连续的总统选举中轻松赢得该州。
特朗普在2018年和2022年支持斯蒂特，当时他在竞选连任时面临保守派的反对。但斯蒂特在2024年共和党总统初选前夕并未回报这份支持，而是支持佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis）。斯蒂特在一份声明中称德桑蒂斯是“能连任两届总统的候选人”。由于宪法限制，特朗普无法寻求第三个任期。
多名与特朗普关系密切的消息人士表示，总统对斯蒂特的不满早在此次事件之前就已存在。一位消息人士称，特朗普将2020年新冠疫情期间在俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨举行的竞选集会反响平淡归咎于斯蒂特。目前尚不清楚斯蒂特是如何对意外冷清的人群负责的——当时一些关键的特朗普盟友指责竞选经理布拉德·帕尔斯基（Brad Parscale），以及由此产生的负面报道。
总统的另一位顾问表示，特朗普一直提及斯蒂特支持德桑蒂斯的事。
“他只是认为斯蒂特是个‘伪共和党人’（RINO），从未支持过他，”这位官员称，将斯蒂特称为“名义上的共和党人”。
俄克拉荷马州共和党参议员马克韦恩·穆林（Markwayne Mullin）上周末在CNN表示，特朗普和斯蒂特之间“确实存在摩擦，而且持续了一段时间”。
“这与两人在总统选举期间的支持对象不同有关，”穆林说。
他称两人都是他的朋友，但会“让他们自己解决”。
自去年特朗普重返白宫以来，斯蒂特也是少数几位在政策问题上与特朗普决裂的知名共和党人之一。
他是首位批评特朗普部署德克萨斯州国民警卫队到伊利诺伊州的共和党州长。
“我们信奉联邦制——这是州权，”他告诉《纽约时报》。他还表示，如果伊利诺伊州州长、民主党人JB·普里茨克（JB Pritzker）在拜登任前向俄克拉荷马州派遣国民警卫队，俄克拉荷马州居民“会发疯”。
他还抨击特朗普政府在明尼苏达州打击移民的行为，此前两名美国公民被联邦特工杀害。
“我认为特朗普在这个问题上得到了糟糕的建议，”斯蒂特在CNN上说。“我认为，美国人的死亡——我们在电视上看到的情况——让人们对联邦战术和问责制产生了深切担忧。”
美国传统上两党制的州长会议陷入僵局
特朗普与斯蒂特的最新冲突始于一场传统上两党参与的白宫会议前夕，当时所有州长在年度华盛顿之行中都将参加。
在斯蒂特告知州长们白宫不会邀请民主党人参加周五上午的商务会议后，特朗普致电俄克拉荷马州州长。两天后，斯蒂特告诉州长们，所有州长都将被邀请。
然而，在同一份声明中，特朗普承认他没有邀请摩尔和波利斯，并批评科罗拉多州州长没有赦免蒂娜·彼得斯（Tina Peters）。蒂娜·彼得斯是科罗拉多州梅萨县的前共和党书记员，去年因参与破坏投票系统的阴谋而被州法院判定有罪，该阴谋试图证明特朗普关于2020年大规模选民欺诈的虚假说法。
摩尔在周三与斯蒂特的联合活动中表示，他“不会在周六晚上出席白宫活动”。他还称赞斯蒂特处理这场冲突的方式。
“凯文支持我们，”摩尔在华盛顿经济俱乐部的活动中说。
“现在一些传统正在被打破，”摩尔补充道。他还表示，自己在军队中学到，“如果你想了解一个人的品格，就在困难时观察他。看他如何领导，如何做决定。凯文从一开始就很明确，他说你不能决定哪些州长可以参加，哪些不可以。”
至于自己，斯蒂特试图淡化与特朗普的冲突，称他将在周六晚上出席白宫活动。
“我基本上只是简单地说，如果不是所有州长都被邀请，NGA就不会成为协调方，”他说。“你可以邀请任何你想邀请的人参加白宫活动，但如果不是所有州长都被包括在内，那就不能称为NGA活动。我们会去的，而且会度过一段愉快的时光。”
肯塔基州民主党州长安迪·贝希尔（Andy Beshear）周日在CNN上的表态则不那么确定。
“这次会议是一个年度两党传统，我们试图搁置分歧，讨论如何在这些领域向前推进，然而总统却将其变成了一场闹剧，随意邀请或取消邀请他人，”贝希尔说。“这看起来根本不会有任何成效。”
He drew a line with Trump. Now Oklahoma’s governor is facing the president’s ire again

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt arrived in Washington this week with invitations to two White House meetings from an angry President Donald Trump.
Trump and Stitt, chair of the National Governors Association, were at odds over whether all the nation’s governors should be invited to the White House for what’s typically a bipartisan annual event. Trump’s administration initially had only invited Republicans, leading Stitt to tell governors that the NGA wouldn’t play a role in facilitating the Friday morning event.
Trump also took to his social media website, Truth Social, to declare that he wouldn’t invite two Democratic governors — Maryland’s Wes Moore and Colorado’s Jared Polis — to Saturday’s White House dinner. Trump said Moore and Polis “are not worthy of being there.”
Because all governors weren’t invited, Stitt initially told NGA members in a letter that the association would not play a role in facilitating the White House business meeting. Days later, Stitt told governors the White House had reversed course and invited all governors to the Friday morning meeting. “President Trump said this was always his intention, and we have addressed the misunderstanding in scheduling,” Stitt said in the letter to governors.
But the damage was done. Eighteen Democratic governors said they were boycotting Saturday’s dinner, and some also said they wouldn’t go to the Friday morning meeting.
And it ultimately rekindled the long-simmering conflict between Trump and Stitt, one of just a few Republican elected officials willing to publicly challenge the president.
Behind closed doors, Trump was incensed that Stitt, whose state voted overwhelming for Trump, would “defend two Democratic governors,” a White House official told CNN.
Trump called Stitt directly to vent his frustration, telling him that it was his White House and he could invite or not invite whoever he wanted, the official said. The call was followed by a litany of social media posts taking aim at the Oklahoma governor.

Stitt told CNN’s Dana Bash at an event hosted by the Milken Institute on Wednesday that he told Trump the president was free to “invite whoever you want to the White House,” but that if all governors weren’t invited, it couldn’t be an NGA event.
“This ability to talk about issues, I think, is really important, and I think the American people want to see it happen,” Stitt said.
Trump and Stitt have a history of disputes
The unraveling of the governors’ White House visits was the latest example of Trump battling with Democratic state leaders.
However, Stitt is a conservative, two-term Republican governor from a deep-red state that Trump won handily in three consecutive presidential elections.
Trump endorsed Stitt in 2018 and 2022, when he faced conservative opposition in his run for reelection. But Stitt did not return the favor in the lead-up to the 2024 Republican presidential primary. Instead, he endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. In a statement, Stitt called DeSantis a candidate who “can win and keep winning as a two-term president.” Trump is constitutionally barred from seeking another term after his current second one.
Multiple sources close to Trump said that the president’s disdain for Stitt began long before this latest episode. One source said that Trump blamed Stitt for a lackluster campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is unclear how Stitt was responsible for the unexpectedly small crowd – with some key Trump allies at the time blaming the campaign manager, Brad Parscale – or the resulting negative headlines.
Another adviser to the president said that Trump has brought up Stitt’s DeSantis endorsement.
“He just thinks he’s a RINO, and that he’s never had his back,” the official said, referring to Stitt as a “Republican in name only.”
Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin said on CNN last weekend that there has been “definitely a rub” between Trump and Stitt “for quite some time.”
“This has to do with a personality difference between both of them in who … Gov. Stitt endorsed during the presidential election,” Mullin said.
He said he considers both men friends but will “let them work it out.”
Stitt has also been a rare example of a prominent Republican to break with Trump on policy matters after Trump’s return to the White House last year.
He was the first Republican governor to criticize Trump over his deployment of the Texas National Guard to Illinois.
“We believe in the federalist system — that’s states’ rights,” he told The New York Times. He also said Oklahoma residents “would lose their mind” if the governor of Illinois, Democrat JB Pritzker, had sent guard troops to Oklahoma while former President Joe Biden was in office.
He also lambasted Trump for his administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota after two US citizens were killed by with federal agents.
Stitt said Trump was getting “bad advice” on the issue.
“I think the death of Americans, what we’re seeing on TV, it’s causing deep concerns over federal tactics and accountability,” Stitt said on CNN. “Americans don’t like what they’re seeing right now.”
A traditionally bipartisan governors’ meeting unravels
Trump’s latest conflict with Stitt began ahead of what’s traditionally a bipartisan meeting at the White House including all of the nation’s governors during their annual trip to Washington.
After Stitt informed governors that the White House wasn’t inviting Democrats to the Friday morning business meeting, Trump called the Oklahoma governor. Two days later, Stitt told governors that all governors were being invited.
However, in the same post, Trump acknowledged he had not invited Moore or Polis, criticizing the Colorado governor for not granting clemency to Tina Peters, the former Republican clerk of Mesa, Colorado, who was found guilty last year on state charges of participating in a scheme to breach voting systems that hoped to prove Trump’s false claims of mass voter fraud in 2020.
Moore said at a joint event Wednesday with Stitt that he “will not be at the White House” on Saturday night. He also credited Stitt for his handling of the conflict.
“Kevin had our backs,” Moore said at the Economic Club of Washington, DC, event.
“There are certain traditions that are being broken right now,” Moore said. He added that he’d learned in the Army, “if you ever want to understand somebody’s mettle, watch them when it was hard. Watch them when it was tough. Watch how they led, watch how they made decisions. And Kevin was very clear from Jump Street when he said that you are not going to pick which governors can and cannot attend.”
Stitt, for his part, sought to downplay his conflict with Trump, saying that he will be at the White House on Saturday night.
As for his role telling other governors that the events would not be bipartisan, Stitt said, “I basically just simply said, the NGA is not the facilitator if not all governors are invited.”
“You can invite whoever you want to the White House, but it can’t be an NGA event if it’s not inclusive of all … governors,” he said. “We’re going to go and have a great time.”
Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, speaking Sunday on CNN, was less certain.
“This meeting is an annual bipartisan tradition where we try to push our differences aside and talk about how we move forward in those areas, yet the president has just turned it into drama, inviting and disinviting others,” Beshear said. “It no longer looks like it’s going to be productive at all.”
