Congresswoman Claudia Tenney of New York’s 24th district has called on the Nobel Committee to award the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to former President Donald J. Trump. This request follows reports that Trump played a key role in negotiating a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, which includes a ceasefire and the release of hostages.
Tenney is currently the only member of Congress who has formally nominated Trump for both the 2024 and 2025 Nobel Peace Prizes. She stated, “In the coming days, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winners will be announced. While there is great work being done around the world, nobody has done more for world peace than President Trump. I have personally nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and my current nomination is live now. His leadership has brought lasting progress to one of the most volatile regions on earth, and I urge the committee to recognize his achievements.”
Tenney pointed to Trump’s involvement in brokering the Abraham Accords between Israel and several Arab nations as an example of his efforts toward Middle East peace.
The Nobel Peace Prize Committee is expected to announce this year’s recipient soon.
Claudia Tenney has represented New York’s 24th district in Congress since 2021, after replacing Anthony Brindisi. Before her time in Congress, she served in the New York State Assembly from 2011 to 2016. Born in New Hartford, New York, in 1961, Tenney lives in Canandaigua. She graduated from Colgate University with a BA in 1983 and earned a JD from the University of Cincinnati in 1987.
