National Press Club Headliners Dinner: Mike Pence

Vice President Mike Pence will discuss his new book, “What Conservatives Believe,” and the future of the GOP in a conversation with Robert Costa at a National Press Club Headliners Dinner on Monday, June 15 at 7:00 p.m.

In this book, Pence argues Republicans must rediscover the principles of true conservatism to deal with the challenges of tomorrow. He issues an urgent warning about the future of the GOP, urging the party to choose enduring conservative principles over the temptations of big-government populism.

Mike Pence served as a Congressman for six terms and the 50th Governor of Indiana. His accomplishments in Indiana led to his selection as the 48th Vice President of the United States (2017-2021).

Costa, the Chief Washington Analyst for CBS News and a national correspondent for “CBS News Sunday Morning,” was the recipient of the National Press Club’s 2025 Fourth Estate Award, the highest honor awarded by the organization for journalist contributions. He has long reported on the conservative movement and has covered Vice President Pence since Pence was in the U.S. House.
