Former US Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Trump’s $300 million White House ballroom plan on Jon Stewart’s podcast. He accused the government of ignoring hungry people who lost SNAP food assistance benefits amid the government shutdown.
On ‘The Weekly Show’ on Thursday, Harris lost her temper when she was asked whether Democrats could learn something from Trump’s style of governance. Kamala Harris said angrily, what are you joking about? This man wants to build a ballroom for his rich friends, while ignoring the fact that if SNAP benefits end in a matter of hours, children will starve. Kamala Harris accused Trump of giving priority to luxury items instead of ordinary Americans struggling with the shutdown.
What is Ballroom Project?
According to Trump, the White House needs a larger space for official ceremonies and he argues that the East Room, which can seat about 200 guests, is inadequate. He has long criticized the tradition of holding state dinners and major events under tents on the South Lawn.
The administration says this $300 million ballroom project will be completely privately funded and no taxpayer money will be involved. The White House has promised to disclose the names of individuals who have contributed to the effort and has even hosted a dinner in the East Room for some of the donors.
It is being told that about $22 million will come from Google’s subsidiary YouTube, which is part of the settlement of the lawsuit with Trump in 2021. Officials say the new ballroom is expected to be completed before Trump’s term ends in January 2029.
