Cheney’s funeral is scheduled for mid-morning Thursday at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. It is customary for US presidents to attend the funerals of past presidents and vice presidents, but Trump has had a uniquely poor relationship with Cheney’s family in recent years.

Both Liz and her father supported former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign.
