Lauren Boebert (CO-04) introduced the Tactical Revitalization and Upgrade of Modern Presidential Ballroom Act or the ‘‘TRUMP Ballroom Act”. Her legislation Congressionally authorizes President Trump to design and construct a ballroom facility on the grounds of the White House. “The attempted assassination of President Trump this past weekend has highlighted the need for a space adjacent to White House that the President can host large events without exposing himself to another would-be assassin. While I don’t see any reason Congressional approval for this ballroom should be required, activist judges and leftist dogwalkers have inserted themselves into this renovation at the White House. As a result, I’m proud to introduce the TRUMP Ballroom Act so that we can get this project over the finish line.” said Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Background: President Donald J. Trump has proposed the construction of a new, large-scale ballroom facility on the White House grounds to address the current limitations of existing event spaces. The proposed state-of-the-art ballroom would provide the President with a secure, on-site venue capable of hosting major official events, diplomatic receptions, and large gatherings without requiring travel to external locations. The project has been stalled due to legal challenges from activist groups. A liberal activist judge recently sided with a dog walker in blocking key aspects of the White House renovation, creating unnecessary bureaucratic and legal hurdles. The attempted assassination of President Trump this past weekend has further highlighted the urgent need for a secure ballroom facility adjacent to the White House. Such a venue would allow the President and future administrations to host high-profile events with significantly reduced security risks. The Tactical Revitalization and Upgrade of Modern Presidential Ballroom Act (TRUMP Ballroom Act), introduced by Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-04), seeks to provide explicit congressional authorization for President Trump to design and construct the facility, cutting through the activist-driven legal obstacles and ensuring the project can move forward without further delay. | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:19:40Z |
