On Friday, Tennessee Republican Rep. Todd Warner introduced House Bill 217, which would rename Nashville International Airport in honor of President Trump.
The bill would require metropolitan airport authorities to take steps to effectuate the name change.
These actions include installing new signage, changing trademarks registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), revising all existing contracts and legal documents to reflect the new name, and updating local, state, and federal This includes updating references with institutions.
The bill provides that during the transition period, the airport can operate under its current name, designating it as either “doing business as Trump International Airport” or “doing business as Trump International Airport.”
If passed, this bill would go into effect on January 1, 2026.
This isn't the first time a lawmaker has pushed to rename an airport after Trump.
Back in April 2024, a group of House Republicans also advocated renaming Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia after President Trump.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pennsylvania), the top Republican in the House, introduced the bill along with six co-sponsors.
“In my lifetime, our country has never been greater under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump,” Reschenthaler previously told FOX News Digital.
“There is no greater symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing 'Welcome to Trump International Airport' as millions of domestic and international travelers travel through our airports and land on American soil. there is no.”
If passed, it would be the second airport in the Washington, D.C., area to be named after a Republican commander-in-chief, following Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia.
“It makes sense that we would do the same thing for another great president,” Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) previously told Fox News Digital.
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) echoed Moore's sentiments, saying, “What better recognition could there be than naming both airports in our nation's capital after two of America's greatest presidents?” “DCA is named after President Reagan, and Dulles is named after President Trump.”
