Separate resolutions have been introduced in South Carolina to name the Interstate 85 and 385 interchange after Presidents Trump and Obama. H. 5009 is sponsored by Reps. Jonathan Hill of Anderson and Stewart Jones of Laurens. If passed, it would require the Department of Transportation to name the interchange the "President Donald J Trump Interchange."The concurrent resolution was introduced Jan. 22.“It’s appropriate we send this message that South Carolina stands behinds President Trump with the good things he’s doing," Hill said. “There’s nothing divisive about suggesting naming it after President Trump. The divisiveness is being unwilling to talk about the good things he’s done.” Hill said he was also open to taking the signs down if merited. H.5026 is sponsored by Reps. John King of York County and Shedron Williams of Hampton County. If passed, it would require the Department of Transportation to name the interchange the "President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama Interchange."This concurrent resolution was introduced Tuesday.
