Kennedy Centre board votes to add Trump's name again
The Kennedy Center board has voted to restore Donald Trump's name to the building, despite a previous court ruling that barred the renaming.
The board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has voted to add President Donald Trump's name again to the building's exterior, despite a federal judge's earlier order to remove it. The move, which could lead to a legal conflict, was approved by a majority of Trump-supporting board members. The resolution also calls for closing the center for two years.
This decision comes after the Trump administration added Trump's name to the Kennedy Center's facade in December. However, a judge ruled in May that the center cannot be renamed without congressional approval. The appeals court denied the administration's request in June to keep Trump's name on the building while it appeals the decision.
