"By God’s grace I did my duty that day to support the peaceful transfer of power under the Constitution of the United States of America,” former vice president says.

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday repeatedly invoked the Constitution and said it is what "binds us all together" after receiving the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award. Pence received the award for his refusal to go along with President Donald Trump's efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday while receiving the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award that January 6, 2021, “became a triumph of freedom” because Congress returned to do its constitutional duty after the attack on the Capitol.
