"During Thursday afternoon's briefing at the White House, a reporter asked Leavitt, In addition to the ballroom and the Rose Garden patio, is the president looking at any other renovations or significant kind of projects here at the White House? She replied: Not to my knowledge, no. But he's a builder at heart, clearly. And so his heart and his mind is always churning about how to improve things here on the White House grounds. But at this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."
"There were no shortage of prominent figures who rushed to reveal that they had only read the caption, and were not aware of the full context of Leavitt's quote. Good to know, replied California Governor Gavin Newsom (D). Honestly, you can't make this shit up, chimed in Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Costs are exploding and people need relief. If the President can take a break from knocking down the East Wing and ballroom planning, I'd love to show him our district where many of his supporters need his help, declared Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH)."
Karoline Leavitt said the White House ballroom is the president's main priority and described him as a builder whose mind is always churning about improving the White House grounds. A short clip of that exchange was shared on X with a caption highlighting the ballroom line. Several prominent Democrats and left-leaning media figures reacted to the caption without acknowledging the fuller context, posting critical or mocking responses. Reactions included comments from Governor Gavin Newsom, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who framed the remark as evidence of misplaced priorities amid constituent needs.
