Trump demands White House ballroom

President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are pushing for the immediate construction of a $400 million White House ballroom following the security breach at a press gala.

Supporters argue the dedicated venue is essential to protect the President during large-scale events and reduce reliance on commercial hotels.

The proposal has faced pushback from some GOP senators who worry about the political optics of such a project during a cost-of-living crisis.

The White House has already released a list of 37 donors, including tech and crypto moguls, willing to fund the 90,000-square-foot facility.
