Republicans eye picking up $400M tab for Trump's ballroom as some Dems open to 'discuss' idea
Senate Republicans, including Lindsey Graham, Katie Britt, and Eric Schmitt, plan to introduce a $400 million funding bill for President Trump's White House ballroom, citing security concerns after a recent assassination attempt at the Washington Hilton. The project's cost has risen from $100 million to $400 million, and the legislation would use customs fees on imports to cover it. Democrats express skepticism, with some calling for more investigation into the security incident and others questioning the need for the ballroom.
