Public balks at Trump White House ballroom plan amid legal, political pushback
TL;DR Summary
A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finds 56% of Americans oppose Donald Trump’s plan to tear down the White House East Wing for a privately funded ballroom, with 28% in support; opposition is stronger among Democrats and remains relatively steady despite a temporary GOP uptick after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. Voters also oppose related vanity projects like a presidential arch and Trump’s signature on currency, and construction is stalled by a legal challenge even as lawmakers push for authorization or funding.
