President Donald Trump’s long-discussed White House ballroom project has encountered a major obstacle.
According toPolitico, Republican senators will not include in their immigration enforcement funding bill a $1 billion request from the Secret Service that would have gone toward Trump’s ballroom.
Republican Sen.John Kennedyof Louisiana broke the news to reporters after Wednesday’s GOP lunch.
“We were told that the ballroom money is out,” Kennedy said.
For nearly a year, Trump’s ballroom odyssey has featured many twists and turns.
At first, the president spoke only of private funding for the project.
In fact, on Aug. 2, 2025, conservative activist Charlie Kirk — just one month and eight days before his assassination — posted a seven-second clip of Trump to the social media platform X.
“How many donors do you think it’s gonna take to get to $200 million?” a reporter asked.
“Maybe one,” the president replied. “Me.”
“He’s one of one and there will never be another,” Kirk wrote in praise of Trump.
