The Kennedy Center board has voted to close most of the iconic performing arts venue just hours after a federal judge blocked the institution from returning President Donald Trump’s name to the building. Trump says the closure was needed for safety repairs. But he says those repairs would only happen if the board was allowed to add his name to the building. A federal judge has twice said that can’t happen without congressional approval. Earlier Tuesday, Trump criticized the Supreme Court for rejecting his attempt to restrict mail-in voting for the midterm elections. He has expressed frustration, saying the justices who opposed him were not the people he interviewed.
