Kennedy Center Board Votes to Restore Trump Inscription and Approve Renovation Closure
The Kennedy Center's board, largely composed of allies of former President Donald Trump, voted to reinstate an inscription on the building honoring Trump and to rename the site the 'President Donald J. Trump Plaza,' despite a federal judge's earlier order to remove his name. The board also approved a two-year closure for renovations, a plan previously blocked by the court. Legal challenges remain over the name inscription, as only Congress can authorize such changes. The center's management presented multiple closure options for consideration.
