(Hill) A pro-President Trump Arab American organization, which performed voter outreach on his behalf to the Arab American communities during his 2024 White House run, has changed its name after the commander in chief’s remarks about taking over Gaza.
The group’s name was changed from “Arab Americans for Trump” to “Arab Americans for Peace” on Tuesday, according to Bishara Bahbah, the group’s chair.
Bahbah told the Hill in a phone interview on Wednesday that the group has thought of changing its name for some time.
“He won, so we needed movement on the momentum on what we have done, and we finally decided to change the name to Arab Americans for Peace,” Bahbah said. “Some in the press tried to tie what the president has said to our changing the name. In fact, it is connected and it’s not.”
