Mike Pence to Receive 2025 JFK Profile in Courage Award

The former vice president is being honored for certifying the 2020 presidential election results during the Capitol attack, despite personal and political risks.

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation announced that Mike Pence will receive the 2025 Profile in Courage Award for his actions on January 6, 2021.
Pence upheld his constitutional duty to certify the 2020 election results despite pressure from Donald Trump and threats from rioters at the Capitol.
During the Capitol attack, Pence was evacuated by the Secret Service as some rioters chanted threats against him, including calls to 'hang Mike Pence.'
Caroline Kennedy and Jack Schlossberg praised Pence’s decision as a profound example of political courage and a defense of democratic principles.
The award ceremony will take place on May 4, 2025, at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.
