MODERATORS
Governers tend to be a bit bipartisan than Federal politicians.
If the invited GOP governors were allowed a +1, I would have liked to have seen each Republican governor bring a Democratic governor as their +1 thereby meeting the original mandate of having all governors present.
Pretty romantic
I don't see how would a Republican governor benefit from pissing off Trump.
Might as well switch to Democrat.
they would tolerate schumer and hakeem we know they work behind teh scnes with gop on occasion.
55 governors? (Not American)
Answered in another post https://lemmy.nz/post/34223093/20110108 not sure how to link it properly.
Including “five territories: American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.”
I mean they just talk on the side... Lol Is this solidarity?
In a sense - the R governors don't want to end up the only ones hanging out with Toxie ahead of the midterms.
Hmm. Based?
