<p>A group of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> have banded together in trying to get former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> a Congressional Gold Medal, the <a href="https://cgm.smithsonianapa.org/honors/congressional-gold-medal.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highest civilian award</a> the Legislative Branch can bestow.</p>
<p>Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-congressional-gold-medal-new-house-gop-resolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obtained</a> a draft of a resolution that seeks to recognize Trump for &#8220;his exceptional leadership and dedication to strengthening America&#8217;s diplomatic relations during his presidency.&#8221;</p>
<p>The long-shot effort is spearheaded by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-LA) and has the support of at least six other Republicans, including House GOP Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA).</p>
<p>&#8220;Despite the liberal media&#8217;s attempts to spread fear, America and the world were undoubtedly safer under President Donald Trump,&#8221; Luna told the news outlet.</p>
<p>&#8220;One of our duties in Congress is to honor those who have contributed significantly to our nation, and that’s why I’m introducing this legislation,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Former presidents are <a href="https://history.house.gov/Institution/Gold-Medal/Gold-Medal-Recipients/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">counted</a> among the recipients of gold medals from Congress, including George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan.</p>
<p>However, given the <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2014/06/12/political-polarization-in-the-american-public/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">political climate</a> and the fact that Republicans narrowly control the House and Democrats lead the Senate, Trump will not likely end up winning the award in the near future.</p>
<p>Still, as Trump seeks another term in the White House, his GOP supporters in Congress have introduced different measures geared toward honoring the former president.</p>

<p>Reschenthaler, for instance, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-propose-renaming-dulles-airport-after-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led a House Republican effort</a> last month to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the Donald J. Trump International Airport.</p>
<p>As he campaigns, Trump is also trying to fight off criminal cases on the federal and state levels in which he claims prosecutors are engaged in a politically motivated “witch hunt” against him.</p>
<p>During an ongoing hush-money trial in New York City, congressional Republicans and others have shown up with Trump to show their support of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.</p>
<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mike-johnson-everybody-can-see-dems-are-prosecuting-trump-to-keep-him-off-the-campaign-trail" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> at the Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday where he said it is &#8220;painfully obvious” that Trump is being unfairly targeted by Democrats.</p>
<p>President Joe Biden is also running for a second term, paving the way to a 2020 rematch with some new factors this time, such as independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the mix.</p>
