Today, the House voted to permanently rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.” He also expressed gratitude towards Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene for her leadership on this legislation.

Johnson emphasized that this action is one among many steps being taken by House Republicans to embed President Trump’s policies into legal frameworks, indicating further initiatives are anticipated.
