Goldberg made the suggestion on April 27, 2026, following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Hilton in Washington, D.C., where Trump and Cabinet members were evacuated.
She argued a new hotel with a larger ballroom could provide a safer venue for future events, as Republican lawmakers push for a White House ballroom and Senator Tim Sheehy seeks congressional approval for its construction.
