Representatives for Stitt, the White House and the NGA didn't immediately comment on the letter. The governors group is one of the few remaining venues where political leaders from both major parties gather to discuss the top issues facing their communities. Trump singled out the Democratic governor over his push to bar transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, threatening to withhold federal funding from the state if she did not comply. Mills responded, “We’ll see you in court.” Trump then predicted that Mills’ political career would be over for opposing the order. She is now running for U.S. Senate. The back and forth had a lasting impact on last year’s conference and some Democratic governors did not renew their dues last year to the bipartisan group. Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
