Vice President JD Vance Booed at Kennedy Center Concert After Trump's Leadership Overhaul

The audience's reaction highlights tensions following President Trump's controversial takeover of the Kennedy Center's board and programming changes.

Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, were met with loud boos at a National Symphony Orchestra performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
The incident follows President Donald Trump's recent appointment as chairman of the Kennedy Center's board, which included the firing of 18 board members and significant leadership changes.
Trump's takeover has led to the cancellation of numerous performances, including 'Hamilton' and an Issa Rae event, as artists protest his vision for the center's programming.
New board members, including Usha Vance, were appointed by Trump, prompting resignations from prominent figures like Ben Folds and Shonda Rhimes.
The Kennedy Center's programming and leadership have faced criticism for being reshaped under Trump's directive to eliminate what he described as 'woke' influences.
