    Republican Congressman Addison McDowell from North Carolina has introduced a bill, H.R. 691, to rename Washington Dulles International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport. The legislation, introduced on January 25, 2025, has the support of several Republican co-sponsors, including Representatives Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania, Brian Jack of Georgia, Riley Moore of West Virginia, and Brandon Gill of Texas. The bill, referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, aims to honor President Trump, the 47th president, for his leadership, with proponents arguing it would cement his legacy in the nation's capital. The proposed name change would apply to all official documents, maps, and records in the United States. Currently, Dulles Airport is named after John Foster Dulles, who served as Secretary of State under President Dwight Eisenhower from 1953 to 1959.
