US Lawmakers Vote to Rename Florida Airport for Trump

On Thursday, the Florida State Legislature, dominated by Republicans, approved a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport.

This decision follows a vote in the legislature and is expected to receive approval from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, despite previous political disagreements regarding Trump. The airport is located near Trump's private residence in the Mar-a-Lago area, known for its luxury properties and high-profile visitors.

However, the name change will not take effect immediately, as it requires oversight from the Federal Aviation Administration, which regulates airport names across the country. This move adds to a growing list of institutions linked to Trump, including a recent attempt to rename the Kennedy Center's governing body.

The initiative signals renewed momentum among Trump's supporters, amidst discussions around commemorating Trump on a dollar coin, despite legal restrictions on placing living presidents on U.S. currency.
