Kennedy Center board votes to restore Trump's name

Kennedy Center board votes to restore Trump's name

The Kennedy Center board, now dominated by Trump appointees, voted to restore President Trump's name to the building and close the venue for two years of renovations.

This decision comes despite a federal judge's order that had blocked the renaming.

Rep. Joyce Beatty revealed that Trump was on the call during the vote.

The move has sparked controversy over politicization of the cultural institution.
