House Follows Trump's Lead With A Vote To Change The Gulf Of Mexico To 'Gulf Of America'

6 days ago The Republican-led House has passed a bill that would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and direct federal agencies to update their documents and maps to incorporate the new name. President Donald Trump signed an executive order during his first day in office to rename the Gulf. House Republicans on Thursday showed their official support in a 211-206 vote. It's unclear whether the Senate will go along. Democrats said the vote demonstrated that Republicans aren’t focusing on the priorities of most Americans. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a Trump ally.
