Kennedy Center Renamed 'Trump-Kennedy Center' Amidst Fierce Backlash

  • White House announced the Kennedy Center will be renamed 'Trump-Kennedy Center' due to President Trump's efforts in 'saving the building'.
  • Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the news, stating the decision was unanimous and would bring new success.
  • The renaming follows Trump replacing the center's board with allies, who then voted him chairman and Richard Grenell as president.
  • Board member Joyce Beatty and Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlossberg dispute the 'unanimous' vote, claiming they were muted.
  • Kennedy family members and legal experts argue the center, named by a 1964 federal law, requires Congressional approval for an official name change.

Why It Matters: Kennedy Center renamed 'Trump-Kennedy Center' by board, sparking controversy and legal questions.
