Florida Lawmakers Advance Gulf of America Name Change

News summary

Florida lawmakers are advancing legislation to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, in line with an executive order from President Donald Trump and supported by Gov. Ron DeSantis. This effort involves revising over 50 state statutes to reflect the name change, and requires updates in educational materials and road signs. While Republican lawmakers view the change as a patriotic move, Democratic opposition argues it is a waste of legislative time, with concerns over costs and priorities. The name change is seen as a symbolic gesture by its supporters, emphasizing American greatness. The legislative proposals highlight a broader trend of Florida's GOP aligning closely with Trump's directives. These bills are expected to pass due to the Republican supermajority in the state legislature.
