The award marks President Trump’s second award in recent months.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently announced that President Trump will be awarded the Israel Prize.

Mediaite reported new details on the award:

Congressional Republicans created an award to give to President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

House Republicans held their annual National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser on Wednesday night in Washington, D.C. Before Trump spoke, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced that the NRCC had come up with a new honor to bestow on the president.

“We wanted to do one thing before we bring the president out to the stage,” Johnson said, before saying Trump works “literally around the clock to fix every issue” and is solving “all the domestic problems.” As such, the speaker said, House Republicans created a new award:

And we want to honor him in some small way, some token of our appreciation for his leadership. And so, tonight, we have created a new award. We’re going to do something we’ve never done before. We’re going to honor him with a new award that we’ll present annually from this point forward. But he is the suitable and fitting receipient of the first-ever America First Award. We could think of no better title for what that is. That’s this beautiful golden statue here. Appropriate for the new golden era in America.

Johnson went on to say that the NRCC had set a fundraising record of $18.5 million in the first quarter. After wrapping up, the speaker introduced Trump, who walked onstage to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless America.”
