""I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building," wrote Leavitt on X ."
"Trump overhauled most of the board when he took office earlier this year. On the website for the Kennedy Center, there are 34 names listed on the board as appointed by the President Of The United States, which includes Pam Bondi, Usha Vance, and Trump himself. But there are also about 23 ex-officio members from Congress, including Beatty, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Mike Johnson, and Susan Collins."
Donald Trump has repeatedly focused on the Kennedy Center since returning to office in January, prompting a purported board vote to rename it the Trump-Kennedy Center, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Representative Joyce Beatty, a board member, said the vote was not unanimous, that she was muted and prevented from speaking, and that the matter was not on the agenda. The vote carries no legal force because the center's name is designated by law. Trump appointed many board members after taking office, and Republicans have pursued legislation to rename the center.
