"Now let me say this about the vaccine: I got the shot. My family got the shot. And I want to encourage anyone here who hasn’t gotten the shot who’s eligible to go get it. And if you’re not sure about it, go ask your doctor and get the very best advice you can," Pence told the Young America Foundation's National Conservative Student Conference.

The direct call from Pence to young Republicans to get vaccinated comes as younger Americans in particular have shown resistance to getting the shot. And it was a notable plea from a top-ranking Trump administration official as red states see their vaccination rates lag behind other parts of the country.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has died unexpectedly at the age of 72, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced on the Senate floor Thursday.

Trumka served as president of the influential labor group, which represents more than 12 million workers, for more than a decade.

"The working people of America have lost a fierce warrior, at a time when we needed him most," Schumer said Thursday.

President Biden called Trumka a “good, close, personal friend” during a Thursday event.
