GOP Faces Internal Fight Over Gulf Name Change | JQJO

House Republicans are facing internal division over a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America," a push championed by President Trump. Rep. Don Bacon voiced opposition, calling it "juvenile." Several other Republicans also expressed concerns, creating uncertainty about the bill's passage despite GOP leadership's optimism. The White House's involvement stems from a dispute with the Associated Press, which plans to continue using the traditional name. The bill's fate hangs in the balance as few Democrats are expected to support it.
