Governors Clash Over Federal Troop Deployments

The National Governors Association, long a symbol of bipartisan cooperation, faces internal division as Democratic governors threaten to withdraw over federal troop orders. California’s Gavin Newsom and Illinois’s JB Pritzker criticized the organization’s silence on what they view as federal overreach into state National Guards. They argue the group’s credibility depends on defending state sovereignty regardless of politics. NGA Chair and Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt urged the association to avoid partisan disputes, while others insisted silence undermines its mission. The controversy underscores growing fractures between states and the federal government, reflecting broader tensions over executive power and political identity in a polarized era.
