A highway more than 1,700 miles long, stretching from Texas all the way to Montana, could soon be named after President Donald Trump if a recently introduced bill is passed.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced legislation on Monday, May 11, to designate US Highway 287 as Interstate 47 and name it in honor of the president as “Trump Interstate,” according to a news release from the senator's office.
"Texas is Trump Country, and this bill cements that legacy by designating nearly 1,800 miles of open road from Texas' Gulf Coast to the edge of the U.S.-Canadian border as I-47 to forever be remembered as Trump Interstate," Cornyn said.
