Grenell to Step Down as Kennedy Center President Ahead of Major Renovation

Ric Grenell plans to step down as Kennedy Center president, to be replaced by Matt Floca, as the venue gears up for a two-year shutdown for renovations. Grenell will remain with the organization as an unpaid consultant. Trump has taken a hands-on role, with Floca expected to be involved in proposed changes, while the board moves toward approving the closure and funding, despite a related lawsuit and ongoing cost-cutting measures.
