Florida Republicans pass bill renaming Palm Beach airport after Trump

Florida Republicans passed a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport to "President Donald J. Trump International Airport." The bill passed the Florida House and Senate along party lines, despite Democratic opposition and concerns about lack of local input. The decision awaits Governor Ron DeSantis's signature to become official. The airport is located near Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, and he frequents it when traveling to Palm Beach. This move follows the renaming of a local road to "Donald J. Trump Boulevard" earlier this year. Trump recently filed trademark applications for similar airport names, which his organization claims is to protect his brand and not for profit.
