Former VP Pence vows to be a ‘voice against’ Trump when president veers from ‘conservative agenda’
EXCLUSIVE – BOSTON – He is out of power, but former Vice President Mike Pence does not feel powerless.
Pence, the once loyal vice president who broke with President Donald Trump as he defied his one-time boss’s request to throw out the results of the 2020 presidential election, pledged to be a vocal GOP critic when Trump, during his second tour of duty in the White House, veers from the «conservative agenda» that defined the Trump-Pence administration.
«When you look at those Trump-Pence years, they were years that we governed on a conservative agenda,» the former vice president said in an exclusive national digital interview with Fox News minutes after receiving the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award in Boston on Sunday night.
Pence said he gives «President Trump all the credit in the world for an historic victory last November, and for sparing the country one more liberal Democrat administration.»

He also praised Trump «not only for his victory, but for securing our southern border, for restoring morale and recruitment in our military, for taking the fight to the Houthis.»
However, he argued that «I truly do believe that some of the other steps the president is taking away from that conservative agenda should be a concern that would work against his legacy and ultimately the success of our party or our country. And so we’re going to continue to be a voice against them.

«I really do believe that for prosperity…for the success of our country, we need to stick to those time-honored principles of strong defense, American leadership on the world stage, less government, less taxes, traditional moral values, and the right to life, and I’m going to be a voice for that,» added Pence, long a champion of social and fiscal conservative values.

On the suggestion in recent weeks by some House Republicans to raise taxes on the wealthy to help pay for Trump’s second-term agenda, an idea some in the White House contemplated before the president came out against the proposal, Pence was clear in his opposition.
«Any suggestion that I’ve heard among some in and around the administration that we raise the top margin rate, the so-called millionaires tax, would be an enormous tax increase on small business owners across America,» Pence said.
He additionally emphasized that «It needs to be opposed. Let’s make all the Trump-Pence tax cuts permanent. That’s a way to really lay a foundation to grow the economy in the days ahead.»
The former vice president, a proponent of a muscular U.S. foreign policy, has criticized the president’s upending of longstanding U.S. foreign policy and has urged Trump to stand with longtime international allies.
Pence received a standing ovation from the audience at Boston’s JFK Presidential Library when, in his acceptance address, he stressed that the U.S. «must continue to stand with Ukraine.»
Pence ran on a traditional conservative platform, framing the future of the Republican Party against what he called the rise of «populism» in the party, as he bid for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, as part of a large field that unsuccessfully challenged Trump.

While Pence, who became the first running mate in over 80 years to run against their former boss, regularly campaigned in the crucial early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, his White House bid never took off.
Struggling in the polls and with fundraising, he suspended his campaign just four and a half months after launching it.
When asked if there was another political chapter ahead, and possibly another bid for national office, Pence told Fox News Digital, «I leave that up to the American people.»
He reiterated that he intends to «be a voice» for traditional and conservative values and «we’ll let the future take care of itself.»
As for Trump’s repeated flirtations the past three months with seeking a third term in office in 2028 – which is forbidden by the 22nd Amendment in the U.S. Constitution – Pence said, «I think there’s no higher priority for a president or any elected official to keep faith with the Constitution of the United States.»
«Every single one of us takes the same oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and my hope and my prayer is for the president on down, Republicans and Democrats, will take that oath to heart, because that’s the pathway forward for our country and all the American people,» he added.

Pence spoke with Fox News Digital after receiving the Profile in Courage Award, which is named for a book the late John F. Kennedy published in 1957 before he became president.
The annual award honors public officials who take principled stands despite the potential political or personal consequences. Among the previous recipients were former Presidents Barack Obama, George H.W. Bush and Gerald Ford.
Pence was honored with the award for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, during the attack on the U.S. Capitol by right-wing extremists — including some chanting «hang Mike Pence» — who stormed the U.S. Capitol aiming to upend congressional certification of the 2020 election.
Hours later, after the rioters were cleared from the Capitol building, Pence resumed his constitutional duties by overseeing congressional certification of former President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.
«Vice President Pence put his life, career and that of his family on the line to execute his constitutional responsibilities. His actions preserved the fundamental democratic principle of free and fair elections, and we are proud to honor him,» former Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, the late President Kennedy’s daughter, said in presenting Pence with the award.
Pence, in accepting the annual award, emphasized that it is a «distinction that I will cherish for the rest of my life.»

The former vice president, pointing to his actions on Jan. 6, said to a standing ovation, «I will always believe by God’s grace that I did my duty that day.»
Additionally, Pence, in his interview, noted that «in all my travels across the country in the last four years, I’ve been deeply humbled by how many Americans have come up to me and just taken a point to encourage us and support us, and it convinces me that the American people know that what ever differences we may have, the Constitution is the common ground on which we stand.»

The Republican-controlled Indiana House returns to session on Monday to take action on congressional redistricting pushed by President Donald Trump.
And the GOP-dominated state Senate, in a major reversal, will reconvene in one week to «make a final decision on any redistricting proposal sent from the House.»
The proposed new map would create another GOP-leaning congressional district in the solidly Republican Midwestern state.
Indiana is the latest battlefield in the high-stakes redistricting showdown pitting Trump and Republicans versus Democrats to shape the 2026 midterm landscape as the GOP defends its razor-thin House majority.

State House Speaker Todd Huston announced last week that «House Republicans will gavel in on Monday, Dec. 1, reconvening the 2026 regular session. All legislative business will be considered beginning next week, including redrawing the state’s congressional map.»
Despite pressure from Trump and his political team, Rodric Bray, the Republican leader in the Indiana Senate, announced two weeks ago that there wasn’t enough support in the chamber to move forward with redistricting.
DEEP-POCKETED CONSERVATIVE GROUP ‘ALL IN’ ON HELPING TRUMP REDISTRICTING PUSH
Trump, in response, repeatedly threatened to back primary challenges against state Republican lawmakers who didn’t support his congressional redistricting push.
«A RINO State Senator, Rodric Bray, who doesn’t care about keeping the Majority in the House in D.C., is the primary problem. Soon, he will have a Primary Problem, as will any other politician who supports him in this stupidity,» Trump warned in a recent social media post.

Bray confirmed in a statement last week that the state Senate would return into session to take action on whatever redistricting proposal passes the House.
«The issue of redrawing Indiana’s congressional maps mid-cycle has received a lot of attention and is causing strife here in our state. To resolve this issue, the Senate intends to reconvene as part of the regular 2026 session on Dec. 8,» Bray wrote.
Republicans currently control seven of Indiana’s nine congressional districts, and any new map passed by the GOP supermajority in the legislature would likely shift the state’s 1st Congressional District from blue-leaning to a red-leaning seat.
Trump has been twisting elbows in his attempt to make Indiana the latest Republican-controlled state to change their congressional maps. The president has called state lawmakers and Vice President JD Vance visited the state twice earlier this autumn to discuss redistricting.

Trump has also taken some jabs at Republican Gov. Mike Braun of Indiana, arguing that the governor «perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes.»

While Trump has called Braun «a good man,» he has warned he «must produce on this, or he will be the only Governor, Republican or Democrat, who didn’t.»
But Braun, pointing to the president, has touted that he is «committed to standing with him on the critical issue of passing fair maps in Indiana to ensure the MAGA agenda is successful in Congress.»
NEWSOM TAKES VICTORY LAP AFTER LANDSLIDE REDISTRICTING VICTORY IN CALIFORNIA
The push by the president in Indiana is part of a broad effort by Trump’s political team and the GOP to pad the party’s razor-thin House majority ahead of the midterms, when the party in power traditionally faces political headwinds and loses seats.
Trump is aiming to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House when Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterm elections.
Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio have drawn new maps as part of the president’s push. And Florida and Kansas are also mulling redrawing their maps.
«We must keep the Majority at all costs,» Trump wrote recently.
But two federal judges in Texas delivered a blow to Trump and Republicans, by ruling that the state can’t use the newly drawn map in next year’s elections. The Supreme Court put in place a temporary stay on the ruling, ahead of weighing in on the dispute.
Meanwhile, Democrats are fighting back.

California voters a month ago overwhelmingly passed Proposition 50, a ballot initiative which will temporarily sidetrack the left-leaning state’s nonpartisan redistricting commission and return the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democrat-dominated legislature.
That is expected to result in five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts in California, which would counter the passage earlier this year in Texas of a new map that aims to create up to five right-leaning House seats.

Illinois and Maryland, two blue states, and Virginia, where Democrats control the legislature, are also taking steps or seriously considering redistricting.
And in a blow to Republicans, a Utah district judge last month rejected a congressional district map drawn up by the state’s GOP-dominated legislature and instead approved an alternate that will create a Democratic-leaning district ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

La profilaxis preexposición (PrEP) y la profilaxis postexposición (PEP) son estrategias que incluyen a los medicamentos antirretrovirales para prevenir la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH).
En el caso de la PrEP está indicada antes de una exposición potencial al virus, mientras que PEP se emplea tras una situación de riesgo. Ambas buscan evitar que el virus logre establecerse en el organismo humano.
En el marco del Día Mundial del Sida, que se conmemora cada 1° de diciembre desde 1988 con respaldo de las Naciones Unidas, un panel de expertos publicó hoy una guía con recomendaciones y 10 directrices prácticas para facilitar el acceso a PrEP y PEP en adolescentes y adultos que enfrentan situaciones de riesgo.
La guía fue publicada en la revista Canadian Medical Association Journal. Hoy, 40,8 millones de personas viven con el VIH en todo el mundo, 1,3 millones de nuevas infecciones ocurrieron en 2024, y 9,2 millones de personas aún no acceden al tratamiento, según el último reporte del programa Onusida.
A través de la publicación de la guía, se busca desarrollar una prevención más amplia, sencilla y personalizada.
La coordinación estuvo a cargo de Darrell H.S. Tan, infectólogo de St. Michael’s Hospital, en colaboración con el Instituto Canadiense de Investigación en Salud y la Red Pan-Canadiense para Ensayos Clínicos sobre VIH.
Quieren reducir nuevos casos de personas con VIH a través de la prevención combinada y el acceso temprano a opciones farmacológicas.
El objetivo es eliminar obstáculos administrativos y sociales para que quienes pueden beneficiarse con esos tratamientos accedan sin demoras ni requisitos adicionales.
La guía fue diseñada como referencia clara para el personal de la salud y para el público que busca información verificada.
Los autores de la publicación compartieron estas buenas prácticas:
- Ofrecer consejería sobre PrEP y PEP a toda persona sexualmente activa, incluidos adolescentes y usuarios de drogas inyectables, con información positiva.
- Permitir la prescripción de PrEP a cualquier adulto o adolescente que la solicite.
- Evaluar el riesgo de VIH en cada consulta y sugerir PrEP a quienes se puedan beneficiar.
- Si sexo asignado o identidad de género no están claros, el personal de salud se debe guiar para hacer la indicación según la anatomía y situación del paciente y sus parejas.
- Indicar PEP solo ante exposiciones de riesgo real y cuando la persona fuente pueda transmitir VIH.
- Realizar una prueba de VIH antes de dar PEP, sin demorar el tratamiento.
- No prescribir PEP si la persona fuente es VIH negativa, el estatus es desconocido en la población general o la persona con VIH tiene carga viral indetectable.
- En situaciones dudosas, decidir junto al paciente y nunca demorar el acceso a la terapia.
- Comenzar PEP al instante tras la exposición y seguir durante 28 días.
- Se debería involucrar a autoridades, organizaciones y sociedades científicas para promover y monitorear PrEP y PEP.
Los expertos también especificaron que los fármacos que se deberían indicar como PrEP son:
- Tenofovir disoproxil fumarato/emtricitabina: Esquema diario en comprimidos, considerado la opción preferida para la mayoría de las personas VIH negativas.
- Tenofovir alafenamida/emtricitabina: Puede ser considerado en situaciones específicas, por ejemplo, para personas con problemas renales o de densidad ósea.
- Cabotegravir de acción prolongada: Inyección intramuscular cada dos meses. En la guía afirmaron: “Recomendamos CAB-LA 600 mg como opción de PrEP”.
En tanto, los medicamentos para usar en casos de PEP son:
- Bictegravir/tenofovir alafenamida/emtricitabina
- Dolutegravir más tenofovir disoproxil fumarato/emtricitabina
Ambos esquemas deben iniciarse tan pronto como sea posible después de la exposición (máximo 72 horas) y mantenerse durante 28 días.
Esos medicamentos ya demostraron efectividad y seguridad para la prevención del VIH en personas con diferentes perfiles y necesidades, de acuerdo con las recomendaciones actualizadas de la guía.
En diálogo con Infobae, el médico Marcelo Losso, jefe de la sección de enfermedades emergentes e investigador principal de la Unidad de Investigación del Hospital Ramos Mejía y profesor de farmacología de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) en Argentina, comentó sobre la publicación canadiense.
“La nueva guía de manejo de profilaxis pre y posexposición de VIH de Canadá actualiza la recomendación de ofrecer PrEP, siguiendo la posición que previamente habían tomado otros organismos de países de ingresos altos, como los CDC de Estados Unidos y la Asociación Británica de VIH, entre otros. En cambio, la OMS continúa recomendando la estrategia solo en personas de mayor riesgo”, afirmó.
Losso resaltó: “La guía canadiense expande la oferta de PrEP a todos los adolescentes y adultos que lo requieran, independientemente del resultado de su evaluación del riesgo de infectarse”.
La efectividad poblacional de la PrEP, es decir, la capacidad de la estrategia para disminuir el número de nuevos casos, depende principalmente de que una proporción sustancial de quienes la necesitan acceda a su uso.
“Actualmente, una cantidad marginal de individuos recibe PrEP respecto de quienes precisan la estrategia. Esta situación es global, no exclusiva de la Argentina o de otros países de América Latina, y se debe principalmente a la dificultad de implementar medidas preventivas relativamente complejas en población sana”, enfatizó.
El experto añadió: “Implica incorporar al sistema de salud a personas que no necesariamente consultan y luego seguirlas periódicamente, con controles y entrega de medicación. Sin duda, la prioridad actual para nuestros países de la región debería ser la expansión de la implementación de PrEP en poblaciones en riesgo, donde aún mantenemos un déficit significativo”.
