Democrats are planning to radically change or even tear down Donald Trump’s planned $300 million, corporate-backed White House ballroom project if they can retake Congress and the presidency, arguing the ongoing construction project should be converted into something more egalitarian.
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland has proposed renaming the space the “Democracy Matters Ballroom” and transforming it into a museum on American democracy, including efforts to “thwart popular democracy” such as the January 6 MAGA riot at the Capitol.
