Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he happily snubbed White House invite
Andrew Harnik, STF / Associated Press
Speaking to the Young Americas Foundation in North Texas on Saturday, Abbott told the crowd that he had a choice to make.“I was invited to spend a day and tonight at a black tie event in the White House with President Biden,” Abbott said. “I could be with Biden in Washington, D.C. or I could be with you in Grapevine, Texas.
Abbott wasn’t the only Republican governor missing from the meeting. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, both considered potential GOP White House contenders in 2024, were also absent, as was Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders who delivered a sharp rebuke of Biden after the State of the Union address last week.
Besides being greeted by Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the group of governors met with cabinet members and other senior administration officials.
