House Republicans have introduced a bill to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Donald Trump. The bill, introduced by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler on March 29, aims to designate the Virginia airport as the “Donald J. Trump International Airport.” If successful, travelers flying into the US capital could soon be landing at “Trump International Airport.” This proposal follows a generation after the renaming of National Airport, with some Republicans now setting their sights on renaming the other D.C.-area airport as a symbol of their party and support for Trump.

Virginia Democrat Criticizes GOP Bill

Not everyone is in favor of renaming the airport after Trump. Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Virginia Democrat, criticized the proposal, stating, “I’d suggest they find a federal prison.” Connolly’s comment reflects the divisive sentiment surrounding Trump’s presidency, with critics of the former president questioning his actions and policies. While some Republicans see the renaming as a way to honor Trump’s leadership, Democrats like Connolly view it as a misguided and inappropriate gesture.
