Florida has taken steps to name an airport after Donald Trump, following a decision that will soon be presented to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for approval. While DeSantis has not yet commented on whether he will sign the proposed legislation, this move comes on the heels of Florida's decision last year to designate a site in downtown Miami for Trump’s presidential library. Trump, originally from New York, relocated to Florida in 2019, where his primary residence is now the Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach.

In January 2026, a section of the road leading to Trump’s residence was also named Donald J. Trump Boulevard, reflecting an ongoing trend in the United States where buildings and infrastructures are often named after former presidents or political figures whose terms have concluded. This recent development is part of a broader recognition of Trump's influence in Florida, given his strong support within the state's Republican circles.

The implications of this decision could extend beyond mere naming, as it may symbolize Florida's political alignment and the state's role in national Republican politics. The final approval from Governor DeSantis will be closely watched, as it could reflect the governor's support for Trump ahead of future political endeavors and underscore the partnership within the Republican Party in Florida, especially in light of Trump's ongoing relevance in American politics.
