House Republicans approve amendment to rename Kennedy Center Opera House after Melania Trump.

House Republicans have approved an amendment to rename the Kennedy Center Opera House after former First Lady Melania Trump, as part of an annual spending bill. The proposal passed in a 33-25 vote within the House Appropriations Committee. Critics view the move as a political maneuver that could undermine the Kennedy Center’s legacy, while supporters argue it honors Melania Trump’s work in promoting the arts. The amendment must still pass the full House and Senate to take effect.
