A legislative effort in Louisiana to name a new bridge over the Mississippi River after former President Donald Trump has faltered, as the bill failed to advance in the state Senate. Introduced by GOP state Rep. Michael Echols, the bill aimed to designate the bridge as the 'President Donald J. Trump Expressway' and had previously passed the House with a 68–26 vote. However, it did not receive a Senate vote or committee referral before the legislative session ended on June 1. Echols expressed disappointment, stating that naming the bridge after Trump could have attracted federal funding for the long-planned project. Meanwhile, a separate proposal by Democratic state Rep. Pat Moore to name a section of Louisiana Highway 15 after President Barack Obama also stalled without a floor vote. Louisiana, a Republican stronghold, showed significant support for Trump in the 2024 election, with 60% of voters backing him. The former president has seen several infrastructure projects named in his honor, although some have faced legal challenges regarding the rebranding process.
