Speaker Mike Johnson is [running into some resistance](https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/06/politics/gulf-of-america-resistance-house-republicans?utm_medium=social&utm_source=reddit) from fellow House Republicans on a bill to codify President Donald Trump’s push to rename the Gulf of Mexico.
Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon said Tuesday he will oppose the vote later this week, which is expected in the House Thursday, complicating matters for Johnson and GOP leaders in their slim majority.
At this point in the week, two GOP leadership sources told CNN they still believe the bill can pass, though Johnson cannot afford to lose many more votes. Few, if any, Democrats are expected to vote for the bill, according to multiple Democratic members and senior aides.
“It just seems juvenile,” Bacon told CNN. “We’re the United States of America. We’re not Kaiser Wilhelm’s Germany or Napoleon’s France. I just – we’re better than this. It just sounds like a sophomore thing to do.”
The bill, which was authored by Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, would require federal agencies to update all maps and documents with the “Gulf of America” instead of the Gulf of Mexico. Bacon is not the only House Republican who is throwing cold water on the measure.
How exactly will this lower the price of eggs?
Can’t even get the performative nonsense pushed through?
Changing all the maps and other materials would be a huge waste of time and money. Not to even mention the merit of the idea… or lack thereof.
God forbid if we deal with important issues.
But hey, let’s make some stupid name change of a body of water that has been called that since the 1500’s and named for the Mexica…actual natives to this country unlike Trump and his kind.
I fucking hate this timeline. I want a DeLorean to do a reset.
THIS is where they balk??? JFC
Oh I hope the name change doesn’t go through. Florida has approved the change and state agencies have already started making the changes.

Whatever, MSM always says there is resistance within the GOP, but they always flagellate themselves and fall in line.
They do realize that the first day a democrat is president again, Gulf of America becomes Gulf of Mexico again and will remain as such
What a profound waste of time and energy.
Rep. Harriet Hageman of Wyoming supports changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. she embarrassed herself when she repeatedly said the Gulf of Mexico is near San Diego. Honestly, are there any intelligent Republicans in the White House?
This whole renaming thing is so stupid. What exactly was the point of this again?
Identity politics! Culture war! Own da libz!
And this is why we put these moron’s in office nothing better to do.
The Golf of America
Would it even be legally enforceable? Am I going to get fined every time I say ‚the gulf of Mexico‘??
And obviously a violation of free speech too.
You’re kidding.
People often say, „Trump’s doing exactly what he’d said he would do.“
But this Gulf of Mexico renaming thing never once came up during the campaign.
Don’t give a shit what Trump & his cultists say, it’s always going to be the Gulf of Mexico.
It will never be the Gulf of America dick breath!! The Spanish found it!! You know nothing! And lie about the rest.
America isn’t the world, and it will always be the Gulf of Mexico. And I say that as a patriotic American, not a Nazi-apologist Christian nationalist.
This is important to who?
It doesn’t matter what the congressional ass kissers call it. The rest of the world and majority of Americans will refer to it as the Gulf of Mexico.
I’m starting to think the R might stand for something else.
Good, it was ‘Gulf of Mexico’ HUNDREDS of years before the USA existed.
God I hate him.
It’s kind of pathetic how obsequiously they bend the knee for this wholly inadequate, undeserving, embarrassment of a man.
“Few, if any, Democrats plan to vote for the measure”
Seriously?
The Gulf of America map is so vague even politicians can’t figure out what it means. Maybe it’s just a metaphor for the void in their understanding of geography?
Dems are supposed to vote FOR IT, for it? Wtf!! If that happens, I will be so freaking pissed. This batch of Dems are a bunch of freaking D.I.N.O.s
Didn’t realize MTG was the author of such a stupid bill… though not surprised in the least.
jfc…yes, a made up name on a map is a burning issue these days. worthless shits.
This! Right Here!
>“Few, if any, Democrats are expected to vote fr the bill,“
FEW??? This is why they lose. While they rarely do so, its still uncharacteristic of a GOP to break ranks, These DEMs do this shit all the time. Who the fuck (DEM) would vote for this ?
This is the same shit as single issue Palestine voters against Harris. same shit. morons.

We live in the dumbest fucking timeline.
I think it means when it’s changed officially, America can say they own it, which means, more drilling, mining and extraction of anything that can be found to the exclusion of all others.
Trump is all small dick energy
Has anyone told Presidential Deadbeat that there’s another war breaking out?
