Trump Excludes Democrats from Annual Governors Gathering with White House

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

A gathering of governors with the White House has been canceled after President Trump excluded Democratic governors from the event. The annual meeting, typically a bipartisan affair, was supposed to take place at the White House but was called off due to the exclusion.

According to reports, only Republican governors were invited to attend the meeting. Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and other Democratic governors had expressed disappointment with the decision, calling it “blatant disrespect.”

The Hill reported that the event was originally intended to be a bipartisan gathering, but Trump’s decision to exclude Democrats led to its cancellation. FOX 5 DC also reported that Maryland Governor Larry Moore was uninvited from the meeting.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette quoted Shapiro, who had pressed the White House to include all governors at the annual event, as saying that Trump’s decision was “unacceptable.” CBS News and AP News also covered the story, reporting on the exclusion of Democratic governors from the meeting.

The White House has not commented on the reason for the cancellation or the decision to exclude Democrats.
