Ric Grenell is stepping down from his position leading the Kennedy Center, according to sources familiar with the situation. The departure comes as President Trump moves to shake up leadership at the prestigious arts venue in Washington. Trump took to Truth Social to announce that Matt Floca will be taking over the top spot. Floca currently serves as the Kennedy Center's vice president of operations and would become the new CEO and executive director once he gets the green light from the board. The transition marks another shift in the cultural institution's leadership under the Trump administration. Floca's background in operations suggests the administration may be looking to focus more on the nuts-and-bolts management of the center rather than the more diplomatic role Grenell typically filled. The Kennedy Center board will need to formally approve Floca's appointment before he can officially step into the role. No timeline has been announced for when that decision might happen or when Grenell will officially wrap up his duties.
