The Alaska House on Monday voted to urge President Donald Trump to reverse course and retain the name of North America’s tallest peak as Denali. The vote came a week after Trump, on his first day in office, signed an executive order calling for the name to revert to Mount McKinley. Through his action, the president revived an idea he had floated years earlier — one the state’s Republican U.S. senators and many Alaskans have opposed.
