Trump does not rule out demolishing the Kennedy Center
The Kennedy Center was closed last month amid a legal battle over whether President Donald Trump can add his name to the performing arts venue.
What the coverage shows
The Washington Post is the only outlet here that directly frames the story as a Senate move to block a bill aimed at stopping Trump from demolishing the Kennedy Center, and its extract is the only one that mentions Sen. Mike Lee and the bipartisan effort. The New York Times offers a broader, more general framing with “President Trump’s Kennedy Center” and says only that it is examining the arts center’s saga in Washington.
