JD Vance Booed by Audience While Attending Concert at Kennedy Center

HeadlineMar 17, 2025

Vice President JD Vance was met with a chorus of disapproval as he attended a concert at the Kennedy Center Thursday evening. The audience loudly booed as Vance and his wife took their seats for a performance of the National Symphony Orchestra. President Trump, who last month dissolved the Kennedy Center’s board of directors and named himself as chair, is expected to visit the renowned arts venue for a board meeting today.

In related news, Shelly C. Lowe, the first Native American chair of the National Endowment of the Humanities, has stepped down from her post “at the direction of President Trump.”
