Florida lawmakers vote to rename Palm Beach airport after Trump
- On Feb 20, 2026, the Florida Legislature approved renaming Palm Beach International Airport as President Donald J. Trump International Airport after a 25-11 Senate vote and an 81-30 House vote.
- Backers argued the change honors Trump’s ties to Palm Beach and his record for Florida and the nation, with Sen. Debbie Mayfield and Rep. Meg Weinberger sponsoring the bill.
- The rename must clear Federal Aviation Administration approval and a license agreement with the rights holder; the Trump Organization recently filed trademark applications but said the family will not receive royalties.
- The bill now goes to Gov. Ron DeSantis' desk for consideration, while Palm Beach County officials and Democrats including U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel criticized the process as lacking local input and called it `misguided and unfair`.
- The move fits a broader pattern of efforts to attach Trump’s name to institutions, as the Trump Organization filed trademarks and proposed renamings including the Trump-Kennedy Center and other sites like Dulles International Airport and Penn Station.
