On February 11, two Democratic governors—Wes Moore of Maryland and Jared Polis of Colorado—announced that they had been removed from invitations to a White House dinner.

White House Press Secretary Levitt defended the event, stating, "This is the people's house, and it's the president's house, so he can invite whoever he wants to the White House for dinners and events."
