Kennedy Center Restores Trump's Name, Tests Court Ruling
TL;DR
The Kennedy Center board voted to restore President Trump’s name at the venue—adding an inscription and renaming the site as the President Donald J. Trump Plaza—an action that appears to challenge a May federal judge ruling that only Congress could rename the center; the administration has appealed. The move comes alongside a two-year renovation plan for the main building with a $24.7 million upgrade, while programming may move to the REACH, and has drawn criticism from Rep. Joyce Beatty for circumventing court rulings and statutes.
