Biden and Bush were in attendance for Republican’s service, along with all other living former vice-presidents
Donald Trump and JD Vance have been snubbed, by not being invited to former vice-president Dick Cheney’s funeral, taking place on Thursday, according to a White House official familiar with the matter.
Cheney, the former US vice-president to George W Bush and Republican defense hawk who became a fierce critic of the current US president, died earlier this month at the age of 84.
The funeral service at the National Cathedral in Washington DC was instead packed with old-school Republicans who held power in Cheney’s political era. Bush delivered the eulogy at the 11am service.
But in the front pews was a bipartisan group: former president Joe Biden, former vice-presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore and Dan Quayle, former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and US supreme court chief justice John Roberts.
