Senate Republicans announced plans to introduce legislation for $400 million in federal funding to construct a White House ballroom, following a security incident during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Senators Lindsey Graham, Katie Britt, and Eric Schmitt emphasized the project's importance for national security.
