Florida Renames Airport After Trump

0:00It's March 30, this is U.S. News Today, AI-powered stories from across the country. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill renaming Palm Beach International Airport after Donald Trump. The new name is Donald J. Trump, Palm Beach International Airport. Republican lawmakers in the state legislature approved it earlier this month. This airport sits in West Palm Beach right near Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. It's one of Florida's busiest spots, handling millions of passengers a year since it opened back in 1936. It drives a ton of tourism and business travel for South Florida. Republicans mostly cheered the move, but Democrats called it a bad call. They argued the legislature ignored Palm Beach County folks by skipping real public input on the change. The renaming kicks in later this year once state and local teams handle the switch. It comes after Florida-OK to downtown Miami Spot last year for Trump's presidential library. So Florida keeps stacking up these honors for Trump, blending politics with local landmarks in a big way.
