A court filing indicates that the Kennedy Center failed to meet the deadline set by Judge Rudolph Contreras, who ordered the removal of Trump’s name from the building in 2022. The center is seeking additional time to complete the process.
The Kennedy Center had previously stated its intention to remove Trump’s name from the building, citing concerns about his policies and actions during his presidency. However, it appears that the center has yet to take concrete steps to fulfill this promise.
In a separate development, the Kennedy Center has announced plans to drop “Trump” branding from its website and marketing materials in favor of more neutral language. The decision comes after the center revealed its Twain Award guests for 2023, which include Bill Maher.
