Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Trump’s Ballroom

HeadlineSep 01, 2026

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of President Trump and his construction of a new White House ballroom. In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court lifted lower court orders that would have temporarily stopped work on Trump’s 90,000-square-foot ballroom. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s three liberal justices in dissenting, writing that the ongoing construction was “likely unlawful.” The Supreme Court also ruled that the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which filed a lawsuit to block the project, did not have grounds to sue.
