President Donald Trump's name was set to be removed from the Kennedy Center but a 12-hour delay has been sought by the administration.
A document shared by POLITICO reporter Kyle Cheney noted that a crowd including lawmaker Joyce Beatty had been outside the Kennedy Center for most of the evening.
The Kennedy Center was asked to remove Trump's name from the facade of the performing arts venue after a judge had rejected the request to pause the court-ordered deadline on Friday to remove all references to Trump on the building as well as other aspects of the Kennedy Center's operations.
The document cited thunderstorms in the District of Columbia as the reason for the delay, stating that the removal work is ongoing and will conclude in the early hours of the morning of June 13, 2026.
However, many of Trump's critics did not take kindly to the delay, with one person noting that when Trump's name had to be put up, cherry pickers were used to make the task quick, but they were building scaffoldings to take the name down.
