Hialeah Mayor Bovo tells Trump he wants a street to be named after former president
Hialeah Mayor Esteban “Steve” Bovo announced during a rally held by former President Donald Trump his intention to name an avenue after the Republican presidential candidate in the largely Hispanic city.
Trump held a rally at the Ted Hendricks Stadium while other candidates vying for the Republican nomination for president in 2024 participated in a debate at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami on Wednesday.
“You always kept your promises to this great nation and next week I would be asking the council to be able to authorize a name street after you, Donald Trump Way,” said Bovo, holding a street sign next to Trump that said “President Donald J. Trump Avenue.”
Trump said, “it was an honor, a great honor, I didn’t know that.”
The next council meeting will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 14, with a resolution requesting that Palm Avenue be renamed for Trump.
Currently Hialeah doesn’t have any street named after a president or former president, it would be the first. A library at West 49th St. is named after President John F. Kennedy.
Hialeah is a heavily Republican city with a large Hispanic population.
