WASHINGTON—The White House will be constructing a $200 million ballroom to accommodate people for larger events, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on July 31.

“For 150 years, presidents, administrations, and White House staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed,” Leavitt said during a press briefing.
