‘Texas is Trump country’: Senator proposes to name a 1,800-mile highway after Trump while publicly begging for his endorsement

Texas Senator John Cornyn has introduced a bill to rename US Highway 287 as Interstate 47, in honor of Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States. The proposal seeks to upgrade the 1,791-mile road that runs from Choteau, Montana, to Port Arthur, Texas. Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis has signed on as a co-sponsor.

In a social media post about the bill, Cornyn wrote, “I am proud to introduce legislation to rename US Highway 287 as Interstate 47 in honor of our 47th President.” According to The Hill, he added, “Texas is Trump Country & this bill cements @POTUS’ legacy by designating nearly 1,800 miles of open road to forever be known as the Trump interstate.”
