Trump-led Kennedy Center nearly doubles fundraising from Biden era, smashing record with $23M haul

EXCLUSIVE: The Kennedy Center Honors has raised a record $23 million for its 48th annual celebration, nearly doubling the $12.7 million raised last year under President Biden, as President Donald Trump begins his tenure as chairman of the Kennedy Center, Fox News Digital has learned.

According to the Kennedy Center, the $23 million total marks the largest fundraising haul in the 48-year history of the Honors, which was launched in 1978 as the institution’s highest recognition of lifetime artistic achievement.

While Kennedy Center Honorees have visited the Oval Office privately in past years, Trump on Saturday hosted the first official, on-camera ceremony recognizing the recipients inside the Oval Office, introducing each honoree ahead of Sunday night’s gala.

Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell told Fox News Digital that the center "nearly doubled last year’s fundraising, reaching a historic $23 million dollars," calling the Honors "one of our nation’s highest celebrations of the performing arts." 

Trump’s expanded role as chairman and his direct involvement in the weekend’s events, officials say, have contributed to what they describe as "intense interest and momentum" around the program.

Trump winning again. Can't even keep track anymore of all the winning. All in spite of the hate filled liberal collective. Liberals are so stupid.

This is awesome.

Many people have told me the ghost of JFK came to Father Trump and asked him to kick all the h0m0 stuff out of the venue bearing his name.  It was damaging his legacy as a Tier 1 coxman.

The mob are used to special treatment. President Trump treats all citizens equally, doesn’t matter what they like in the bedroom

That is a false statement.

Trump is not giving equal treatment to trans citizens, as he signed Executive Order 14183 to remove all trans people that are serving in the military.

Blame Obama for Trump's Executive Order removing all trans people that are serving in the military? 

Yeah, that makes sense.
