A congressional candidate in Florida has proposed renaming Interstate 75 to "President Donald J. Trump interstate" as part of his campaign strategy to gain an endorsement. Casey Askar, who is running for Florida's 22nd Congressional District, has expressed support for Trump, claiming he played a role in securing votes from Chaldean Catholic Christians, a group he believes contributed to Trump's success in the 2024 presidential election. Askar previously ran for Congress in 2020 but lost in the Republican primary. His proposal follows similar efforts by other politicians, including Senator John Cornyn, who had previously suggested renaming U.S. Highway 287 after Trump but later abandoned the idea after losing his primary. Additionally, the Florida legislature recently approved the renaming of Palm Beach International Airport to President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
