宾夕法尼亚州联邦参议员、民主党人约翰·费特曼继本周白宫记者协会晚宴惊险事件后再次打破党派立场，支持唐纳德·特朗普总统在宾夕法尼亚大道1600号修建新舞厅的计划。
此前多次公开违抗本党的费特曼在X平台上发帖称，周六晚枪击事件发生时，他“就坐在最前排正中央”出席了白宫记者协会晚宴。涉案枪手为31岁的加州居民科尔·艾伦，他突破了华盛顿希尔顿酒店的多层特勤局安保防线，险些在总统、副总统及其他多名政府核心官员和联邦高官在场的房间内开枪。
“在目睹昨晚的事件后”，费特曼呼吁民众“放下特朗普仇恨综合征（TDS），赶紧修建白宫舞厅”。
他表示，这座舞厅的用途将是举办“ exactly like this（这类）”的活动。

“我们当时就坐在最前排正中央，”他写道，“这个场馆并非为举办有美国政府继任线人员在场的活动而设计。”
尽管这座耗资4亿美元的私人资助白宫舞厅项目仍在施工中，但目前因非营利组织美国国家历史保护信托基金（NTHP）提起的法律诉讼而陷入停滞。枪击事件发生后，司法部以总统和其他核心人员的安全安保担忧为由，敦促国家历史保护信托基金撤销诉讼。
“[你的诉讼]将总统、其家人及其工作人员的生命置于极其危险的境地，”司法部民事部门助理部长布雷特·舒梅特在周日致对方律师的信中写道，该信件由代理司法部长托德·布兰奇在X平台上分享。
“够了，”舒梅特继续说道，“鉴于昨晚针对特朗普总统的暗杀企图，你的当事人今天应主动撤销这场毫无意义的诉讼。”
“历史证明，这个场馆对美国总统来说明显不安全，因为其规模给特勤局带来了极大的安保挑战。”
“[周六的]暗杀企图再次证明，白宫舞厅对于总统、其家人、内阁成员及其工作人员的安全安保至关重要。”

出席晚宴的保守派影响者拉克尔·德博诺告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“如果连基本的安全都保障不了，再豪华的舞厅也毫无意义。”
“所有人都在争论建筑设计，而枪手竟然进入了这本该是全美安保最严密的活动现场——这简直是荒谬的注意力转移，”德博诺说道，“安保漏洞才是真正的新闻。进入现场太过容易了。”
德博诺在X平台上分享称，她因“一种不安的感觉”在枪击发生前就提前离开了晚宴。她提到，当时没有人检查他们的包，人们只是“被推着挤过大门”。
特朗普本人也将此次事件作为该酒店场地“算不上特别安全”的证据，称配备防弹材料等设施的新白宫舞厅将提供更安全的替代场地。
“这才是真正需要的，”特朗普周日在福克斯新闻上表示，“你不可能拥有一千间客房或者类似的东西，我的意思是，这是一家非常大的酒店，舞厅就在楼上。人们坐电梯下来，直接就到舞厅旁边了。”

尽管枪击事件引发了各界对修建白宫舞厅的广泛呼吁，但费特曼作为民主党人中罕见的一员，公开支持这一倡议。
周日，费特曼在CNN节目中承认：“说实话，我之前从未对这座舞厅有过强烈的看法，但这次事件清楚地表明了[修建的必要性]。”

他强调，不仅要保护总统的安全，还要在总统遭遇不测时确保继任线人员的安全。
“我刚离开现场时还是有点懵，我们居然如此幸运，没人受重伤，”费特曼说道，“当我们的核心领导层聚集在一个狭小拥挤的区域时，那天本可能给我们国家带来更为灾难性的后果。”

Fetterman breaks with Democrats after shooting scare, backs Trump on major White House project
April 27, 2026 12:33pm EDT / Fox News
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., broke party lines again after the close call at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this weekend, siding with President Donald Trump’s push to build a ballroom at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Fetterman, who has repeatedly shown he is willing to defy his party, posted on X that he was “there front and center” at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner when the shooting occurred Saturday night. The alleged shooter, 31-year-old California resident Cole Allen, broke through multiple layers of Secret Service security at the Washington Hilton and nearly opened fire in a room where the president, vice president and other key administration and federal officials were present.
“After witnessing last night,” Fetterman called for people to “drop the TDS [Trump derangement syndrome] and build the White House ballroom.”
He said the purpose of the ballroom would be to host events “exactly like these.”

“We were there front and center,” he wrote. “That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government.”
Though construction is continuing on the $400 million privately funded White House ballroom, the project is currently bogged down in a legal challenge by the nonprofit National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP). After the shooting, the Justice Department pressed NTHP to drop its lawsuit, citing concerns about the safety and security of the president and other key personnel.
“[Y]our lawsuit puts the lives of the president, his family, and his staff at grave risk,” Brett Shumate, assistant attorney general in DOJ’s Civil Division, wrote in a Sunday letter to opposing counsel, shared on X by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
“Enough is enough,” Shumate continued. “Your client should voluntarily dismiss this frivolous lawsuit today in light of last night’s assassination attempt on President Trump.”
“As history proves, that venue is demonstrably unsafe for the President of the United States because its size presents extraordinary security challenges for the Secret Service.
“[Saturday’s] assassination attempt on President Trump proves, yet again, that the White House ballroom is essential for the safety and security of the President, his family, his cabinet, and his staff.”

Raquel Debono, a conservative influencer who attended the dinner, told Fox News Digital, “No ballroom no matter how grand, matters if we can’t keep people safe first.”
“Everyone’s debating architecture while a shooter got into what should have been the most heavily secured event in America – it’s a ridiculous distraction,” said Debono. “The security failures are the story. It was too easy to get in.”
Debono shared on X that she left the dinner early prior to the shooting due to an “uneasy feeling.” She noted that their bags were not checked and that people were “shoved through doors.”
Trump himself pointed to the incident as evidence that the hotel venue was “not a particularly secure building,” arguing that a new White House ballroom — equipped with features like bulletproof materials — would offer a safer alternative.
“It’s really what you need,” Trump said on Fox News on Sunday. “You can’t have a thousand [hotel] rooms or whatever it is, I mean, it’s a very big hotel, on top of the ballroom. And people come down the elevator, and they’re right next to the ballroom.”

Though the shooting prompted widespread calls for a White House ballroom, Fetterman stood out as a lone Democrat willing to join in on the push.
On Sunday, Fetterman admitted on CNN, “I never really had a strong opinion on the ballroom to be honest, but this clearly demonstrated [the need].”

He emphasized the need to ensure not only the president’s protection but also that of those in the line of succession, should anything happen to the president.
“I just walked away from that still kind of stunned how lucky we were that no one was seriously hurt,” said Fetterman. “And when we have the significant majority of our leadership in a very small, clustered area, it could have been much more catastrophic for our nation that day.”
