U,S. Sen Mitt Romney was named the recipient of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage , the AP News website reports today (March 27, 2021).
He received the award yesterday for splitting with his party and becoming the only Republican senator to vote to convict former President Donald Trump during the first impeachment trial.
The award was created by the family of the late president to honor public figures who risk their careers by embracing unpopular positions for the greater good, and is named after Kennedy's 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "Profiles in Courage."
