'This is the move': Texas Gov. Greg Abbott floats renaming Gulf of Mexico 'Gulf of Texas'

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday joined in on the hypothetical renaming of the Gulf of Mexico after President-elect Donald Trump vowed to change the name to the "Gulf of America" a day earlier.

The far-right governor threw Texas’ hat in the ring with another suggestion of paying homage to the Lone Star State – one of several states that borders the body of water.

“If we are going to rename things …. this is the move,” Abbott posted to his X account above a photo with the words “Gulf of Texas” written over a map.
