A Bipartisan Show of Respect and Remembrance Is Set for Dick Cheney’s Funeral, Absent Trump
The memorial drew over 1,000 invite-only guests including bipartisan political leaders while excluding President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, reflecting ongoing partisan divides.
- On Thursday, a memorial service for former Vice President Dick Cheney convened at Washington National Cathedral at 11 a.m. ET, excluding President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
- Known as a consequential vice president, Dick Cheney died earlier this month at age 84 from complications related to pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, after breaking with President Donald Trump.
- Among scheduled speakers are Liz Cheney, former Wyoming representative, and former President George W. Bush will deliver the eulogy; the service includes full military honors and more than 1,000 invited guests.
- The memorial staged a bipartisan display that nonetheless highlighted political divisions in attendance, as the White House ordered flags lowered to half-staff but President Donald Trump issued no public statement or proclamation.
- Cheney's policy record includes central roles in the War on Terror and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and he later became a vocal critic of Donald Trump endorsing Kamala Harris, former Vice President and 2024 nominee.
