Kennedy Center votes to restore Trump’s name to venue, close for two years
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported15m ago
The Kennedy Center board of trustees has voted to restore former President Donald Trump’s name to the facade of the performing arts venue. The decision follows a court order issued more than two months ago that had previously mandated the removal of the name. In conjunction with this change, the facility is scheduled to close for two years to undergo extensive renovations.
The move has prompted internal opposition, with at least one Democratic board member publicly expressing disapproval of the decision to reinstate the name. The restoration and the upcoming closure mark a significant shift in the center's operations and public branding.
