Although it has no chance of passing, a group of House Republicans sponsored a bill to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Donald Trump, according to statement released on Tuesday.
"In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump," began the statement from bill sponsor Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa. "As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity, and strength than hearing, 'Welcome to Trump International Airport' as they land on American soil.
Although it's unclear how much, if any, traction the bill will get in the slim Republican controlled House, it will be dead on arrival in the Senate. Rep. Jennifer Wexton, D-Va., whose district partially includes Dulles, posted a similar dig at the bill on X, writing: "This is just another in a long list of instances where extreme House Republicans have shown how unserious & delusional they are. Let's get to work on the real issues the American people sent us here for — not renaming an airport after someone who sought to undermine our democracy.
