A memorial service for former Vice President Dick Cheney will be held at Washington National Cathedral, drawing an unusual mix of political figures from both major parties. Cheney, who died at 84, was a central figure in shaping the United States' response to terrorism and the Iraq invasion, making him both celebrated and controversial. His later opposition to President Trump, alongside his daughter Liz Cheney, left him estranged from much of his own party while prompting some reassessment from past critics. The guest list for the service, including former presidents and vice presidents but excluding Donald Trump, reflects the deep divisions and shifting alliances in current American politics. Cheney's legacy remains complex, marked by his powerful role in government, his health struggles, and his final stand against Trumpism, which he saw as a threat to the nation's constitutional order.
