Trump's Name Added to Kennedy Center as Board Votes for 2-Year Closure

The Kennedy Center's Trump-aligned board voted to add Donald Trump’s name to the building’s facade and proceed with a two-year closure for renovations, despite a federal judge’s ruling that earlier name changes were illegal and an order blocking the closure. Rep. Joyce Beatty criticized the move as an attempt to circumvent the court decision, while center leadership argues that repairs and modernization are needed. The decision is likely to face further legal challenges as the dispute continues.
