Trump initiated a $33 million fundraising campaign for America's 250th-anniversary celebration events, aiming to feature himself prominently. America250 was created as a bipartisan initiative to engage all Americans. Trump held a political rally in Iowa, expressing disdain for Democrats. His appointee at America250 sought to replace four longtime Republican commissioners but faced pushback. Despite initial compliance, the commissioners decided against resigning as pressure from the White House intensified. Johnson's office later withdrew the request for resignations, indicating a struggle for control within the commission, which also led to calls for appointing new leadership.
