A Bipartisan Governors' Group Is Splintering in the Trump Era
Briefly

The summer meeting of the National Governors Association will be held at the Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs with bipartisan participation. However, tensions among Democratic governors are rising due to dissatisfaction with the NGA’s inadequate response to President Trump’s federal overreach, particularly regarding funding pauses and state governance issues. Governors Tim Walz and Laura Kelly are planning to stop their dues, indicating dissatisfaction with the NGA's current effectiveness. Other Democratic governors are also considering their positions and responses to the situation, expressing doubts about the association’s value.
"When you are also paying dues with taxpayer dollars, it has got to be worth it, and they are going to have to demonstrate that. Right now they are not doing that."
"Democratic members of the group have privately been fuming over the organization's tepid reaction to President Trump's federal incursions into state matters."
