Former Vice President Mike Pence will receive the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.

Pence refused to go along with President Donald Trump ’s efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election.

Trump pressured Pence to reject election results from swing states where the Republican president falsely claimed the vote was marred by fraud.

Pence has emerged as one of the few Republicans willing to take on the Trump administration.
