President Donald Trump is hosting the 2025 Kennedy Center Honorees in the Oval Office for a medal presentation ceremony. The recipients are actor Sylvester Stallone, singers Gloria Gaynor and George Strait, the rock band Kiss and actor-singer Michael Crawford. The Republican president said he was βabout 98% involvedβ in choosing the honorees when he announced the slate in August at the Kennedy Center in his new role as chairman of the performing arts venue. After Saturday's event at the White House, Trump was also set to attend an annual State Department dinner recognizing the honorees.

Republicans in the Indiana Senate are facing threats as President Trump pushes for lawmakers to redraw the state's congressional map. Trump's goal is to expand his party's power in the 2026 midterm elections. Redistricting is usually done once a decade, but Trump wants to accelerate the process. Some Indiana senators oppose the plan, which would dilute Democratic influence in Indianapolis. Senators are scheduled to convene Monday to consider the proposal. If they resist, it could signal limits to Trump's dominance in the Republican Party.

FIFA gives its new peace prize to President Donald Trump. Itβs an unusual break from tradition for the sport-focused soccer organization, whose president has become a close ally of Trump. The ceremony happened Friday during the 2026 World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center in Washington. It comes after Trump had openly campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. FIFA president Gianni Infantino had said he thought Trump should have won the Nobel this year for his efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza.
