A group of House Republicans led by a member of GOP leadership is introducing a bill to rename D.C.’s Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Trump.
Why it matters: It’s a display of the deference many congressional Republicans have forthe presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
Driving the news: The two-page bill seeks to rename the airport to the “Donald J. Trump International Airport” and require all government documents to refer to it as such.

- The bill was first reported by Breitbart News.
Between the lines: The proposal is sure to get resounding pushback from Democrats in the House should it get a vote on the floor — a risk given Republicans’ razor-thinmajority.

- “If they name it after Trump, there could be continued round-trip service to Moscow,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.).
- Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) pointed to detentions that took place at Dulles after Trump implemented his infamous Muslim travel ban shortly after taking office in 2017……
