Rep. Darrell Issa to Nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
The California congressman cites Trump's Middle East efforts and broader peace initiatives as justification for the nomination.
- Rep. Darrell Issa announced his intention to nominate President Donald Trump for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, claiming 'no one deserves it more.'
- Issa's spokesperson pointed to Trump's efforts to promote peace in the Middle East following the Gaza conflict as a key reason for the nomination.
- Issa recently led a congressional delegation to the Middle East, where he observed what he described as a 'spirit of peace' in the region.
- Trump has been previously nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, including for his role in the Abraham Accords during his first term, but has never won.
- The Nobel Peace Prize nominations for 2025 closed on January 31, meaning Issa’s nomination will not be considered until the 2026 cycle.
