We\u2019re building a ballroom. They\u2019ve wanted a ballroom for 150 years, and I\u2019m giving that honor to this wonderful place. I think we should do it. This was the ballroom. And this room holds 88 people. And the new one will hold 999 people, which is a difference. I say 999 because I don\u2019t want to crack 1,000. I didn\u2019t want people to get concerned because that\u2019s getting big. But we\u2019re going to have, we\u2019ll have the most beautiful ballroom in the country.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<header class=\"css-p8f291\">\n<div class=\"css-1gn3fip\">\n<div class=\"css-p5izi2\">\n<div class=\"css-uv46ik\"><nyt-betamax class=\"css-j5i4vc\"><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/player-0.1.76-BFNcGY1P.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-cover><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/cover-0.1.76-eTrf0IGY.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-poster><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/poster-0.1.76-ZXgRxfP_.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-poster><\/nyt-betamax-cover><nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/overlay-controls-0.1.76-jUswb0zt.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/scrubber-0.1.76-CkKd7enq.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><nyt-betamax-ads><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/ads-0.1.76-Cs2XynqP.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-ads><\/nyt-betamax><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-fnlfdh\"><span class=\"css-hple31\">The planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom now under construction off the back of the East Wing is nearly double the square footage of the White House residence.
