US EditionKennedy Center to Be Renamed 'Trump-Kennedy Center' after Board Vote, White House Says
The Trump-appointed board unanimously approved renaming the Kennedy Center to honor Trump’s role in its reconstruction and financial recovery, despite legal and family opposition.
- On December 18, 2025, the Kennedy Center Board voted to rename it the Trump-Kennedy Center, Leavitt wrote, `Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump...` .
- The president’s earlier moves to change programming and personnel set the stage as Donald Trump, President, removed Kennedy Center leadership, installed a Trump‑handpicked Board of Trustees, and replaced the president with Richard Grenell, interim president.
- The vote occurred during a board meeting that Trump joined by phone, while Rep. Joyce Beatty said she tried to object but was muted, and several artists and consultants, including Issa Rae and Louise Penny, withdrew as `Hamilton` canceled performances.
- Legal experts note the Center was named by Congress and cannot be renamed without action; Rep. Joyce Beatty said, `the Congress has a say in this` and disputed the vote’s unanimity, raising legal questions.
- Earlier this year, the Kennedy Center informed some Pride organizers they could no longer host events, reflecting programming shifts amid broader institutional changes.
