Biden to attend Dick Cheney’s funeral

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former president Joe Biden plans to attend Thursday’s memorial service for former vice president Dick Cheney at the Washington National Cathedral. Biden, a Democrat, had praised Cheney for his “strong set of conservative values” after his death. The service will feature remarks from former President George W. Bush. Cheney died on Nov. 3 due to complications from pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. President Donald Trump has not commented on Cheney’s death and has had frosty relations with the Cheney family. The White House did lower flags to half-staff in accordance with federal law. The funeral is by invitation only, and it’s unknown whether Trump will attend.

Starting at $4.50/week.
