President Donald Trump already signed an executive order during his first day in office to rename the Gulf. House Republicans are looking to show their support, though it is unclear whether he Senate will go along. The bill passed by a vote of 211-206.

With just one day left in the legislative session, Alabama lawmakers must decide whether to join Florida, Louisiana, and likely Texas in adopting Trump's controversial rebrand of the Gulf of Mexico.

The House has passed a Republican-led bill that would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, moving a step closer to codifying President Donald Trump’s push to rename the body of water.
