On Tuesday, the Republican-led House Appropriations Committee proposed renaming the Kennedy Center’s celebrated opera house to honor first lady Melania Trump.
The panel voted 33-25 to add a provision to the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies subcommittee annual spending bill to rename the opera house in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts the “First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.” Melania Trump already serves as the Kennedy Center’s honorary chairwoman, a position traditionally held by first ladies.
