Donald Trump’s huge White House ballroom proposal suffers major blow after new Senate decision – Full Article

Ryan Wrasse, a spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, pushed back on X, writing that “none of this is abnormal” and adding:

“Redraft. Refine. Resubmit.”

The Secret Service had requested the security funding after an incident last month in which a man was charged with attempting to assassinate Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

Trump also cited the shooting when defending the ballroom plan, writing on social media that the incident would not have happened if the “Militarily Top Secret Ballroom” currently being built at the White House had already existed.

“It cannot be built fast enough!” he added.
