Could Dulles Airport be renamed after Trump?

By Ian Crawford

A major airport in the D.C. region that’s a big hub for United Airlines could be renamed after President Donald Trump.

A resolution introduced in the U.S. House last week would redesignate Washington Dulles International Airport as Donald J. Trump International Airport.

H.R. 691 was introduced by Republican Rep. Addison McDowell, and it appears to be similar to one introduced last year by a Pennsylvania representative who’s co-sponsoring this measure.

“President Donald Trump won a historic victory, and honoring his legacy at Dulles is an easy decision,” McDowell, a freshman congress member, said on X.

The airport opened in 1962 and was named for John Foster Dulles, who served as former President Dwight Eisenhower’s secretary of state until shortly before his death in 1959.

The new measure has been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

All of Virginia’s educational divisions, except two, have signed Title VI certifications pledging their commitment to treating all students equally regardless of their race, following a mandate by the state education department that builds on President Donald Trump administration’s campaign to demolish diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in federally-funded agencies. Two school divisions — in Loudoun and Fairfax, the state’s largest school district — submitted alternative documents that they say signify the same commitment, flouting the certification form created by the U.S. Department of Education. Norfolk signed a modified certification form.
