GOP Proposes Renaming Dulles Airport After Trump, Sparks Outrage

Virginia Democrats vehemently oppose the bill, citing Trump's controversial presidency and ongoing legal issues.

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) introduced a bill to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in honor of former President Donald Trump, drawing criticism from Virginia Democrats.
The legislation, co-sponsored by several GOP representatives, has been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure but faces slim chances of passing.
Critics, including Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), mock the proposal by suggesting federal prisons as more suitable namesakes given Trump's legal troubles.
The proposal has reignited debates over Trump's legacy, with opponents recalling the chaos following his executive order banning travelers from several Muslim-majority countries.
Supporters argue renaming the airport would symbolize American freedom, prosperity, and strength, while detractors describe Dulles as an inadequate tribute.
