Quick Glance: Proposal to Rename D.C.'s Dulles Airport after Trump Faces Opposition
  • A group of Republican lawmakers, led by a member of the GOP leadership, is preparing to introduce legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in D.C. after former President Trump.

  • The expected resistance from House Democrats could pose a challenge given the Republicans' narrow majority.

  • The initiative spearheaded by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) has garnered support from several of his colleagues.

  • If Donald Trump were to return to the White House, his close allies aim to significantly alter governmental interpretations of Civil Rights-era laws to emphasize 'anti-white racism' over discrimination against people of color.
