Ever since President Donald Trump tapped Vice-President Mike Pence to lead the White House Coronavirus Task Force at the end of February, he has presided over more than 340 briefings including 35 governors' briefings, with over 156,000 state, local, and tribal participants.
Even after all the time that Pence has spent working to keep the country safe, the vice-president's commendable effort has largely gone unnoticed.
At a press briefing on June 30th with members of the Coronavirus Task Force at the United States Public Health Service Headquarters, Pence said, "Our message to every American in the states that are most affected by rising cases and rising positivity rates is: We are with you. We are working with the governors in your state to ensure that they have the resources and the support to meet this moment and provide the level of healthcare that any one of us would expect for a member of our family."
At another press briefing on July 8th, at the Department of Education, Pence spoke of his respect and admiration for teachers across the country who had to quickly learn how to do virtual learning on the fly, without any formal training.
Democrat governor Jay Inslee of Washington, who has frequently engaged in verbal spats with the president, has said he has a "Really good working relationship" with Pence.
Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York was praising Pence and Trump's efforts before criticizing the Trump Administration's response became a regular occurrence.
"Our country doesn't get through such a time unless its people find strength within. The response of doctors, nurses, first responders, farmers, factory workers, truckers and everyday Americans who put the health and safety of their neighbors first has been nothing short of heroic," he said.
