Bush Join Other Political Figures; Trump and VP Vance Not Invited<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">The funeral service for former Vice President Dick Cheney began today at the Washington National Cathedral, drawing more than 1,000 attendees including former President Joe Biden, former VP Kamala Harris, former President George W. Bush, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheney, who served as Vice President under George W. Bush from 2001-2009, passed away earlier this month at age 84 from complications related to pneumonia and cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funeral is being held with full military honors and features tributes from former Presidents Bush and others. Cheney\u2019s daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney, is also delivering remarks alongside family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside Biden, Harris, Bush, and McConnell, other notable attendees include four of the five living former vice presidents: Mike Pence, Al Gore, and Dan Quayle. Vice President JD Vance was not invited, nor was President Donald Trump, reflecting longstanding political tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guest list evidences a gathering of past and present congressional and cabinet leaders from both political parties, emphasizing Cheney\u2019s influence across Washington despite divisions in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden praised Cheney\u2019s lifetime of public service even amid policy disagreements, highlighting shared values about family and country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honorary pallbearers include members of Cheney\u2019s Secret Service detail and key political aides, bringing an intimate touch to the solemn occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quote from naturalist John Muir featured in the funeral program reads: \u201cThe mountains are calling and I must go,\u201d underscoring Cheney\u2019s Wyoming roots and love of the outdoors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Presidents Biden and George W.
