White House Ballroom Proposal Estimated at $400 Million by Trump

The proposal for a White House ballroom, estimated at $400 million, is championed by President Trump and others for security reasons following a recent incident. The ballroom aims to keep presidents safe during large gatherings, reducing the need for off-site events. However, critics doubt its acceptance for non-governmental occasions and question its practicality. The Department of Justice expressed support for the ballroom's potential use by the White House Correspondents' Association, stating it could host its dinner there when completed.
