White House Reveals Donors for New $300M Ballroom
The White House has released the list of donors for the new $300 million ballroom project, revealing that some of the largest and most powerful companies and private citizens in the U.S. are contributing to the cause.
The 90,000-square-foot ballroom is a longtime aspiration of President Donald Trump, who has desired a larger space to host events. The ballroom will have a seated capacity of 650 people, more than three times the space in the East Room.
However, the project is seen as controversial by some due to the demolition of the East Wing, which has sparked controversy and pushback from historians and preservation groups.
