George W. Bush and Joe Biden Reunite at Dick Cheney's Funeral as Donald Trump Is Left Off the Guest List: Photos

Former vice president Dick Cheney's funeral brought together former world leaders George W. Bush and Joe Biden, while Donald Trump was seemingly snubbed from the guest list.

Cheney was laid to rest on Thursday, November 20, at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C, where the two former presidents, along with four former vice presidents, Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore and Dan Quayle, attended the invitation-only event.

Multiple outlets reported that Trump, 79, and Vice President J.D. Vance were not invited to the gathering, where more than 1,000 guests were expected.

Trump has yet to offer any public condolences on Cheney's death. The White House has offered a muted reaction, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming that Trump was "aware" of Cheney's passing. She noted that flags had been lowered to half staff.

Vance, 41, finally addressed Cheney's death on the day of his funeral while speaking at a Breitbart event, telling the audience, "Obviously, there are some political disagreements there, but he was a guy who served his country. We certainly wish his family all the best in this moment of grieving."

Cheney, who served two terms as vice president under Bush from 2001 to 2009, died on November 3 at the age of 84. The former government official had a long history of cardiac issues, receiving a heart transplant in 2012 after 21 months on a waiting list.

"Richard B. Cheney, the 46th Vice President of the United States, died last night, November 3, 2025. He was 84 years old. His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed," his family said in a statement. "The former Vice President died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease."

Cheney was previously a supporter of the Trump Administration during his 2016 run, but spent the final years of his life blasting the businessman after his daughter and former Rep. Liz Cheney led an investigation into Trump's role in the storming of the Capitol in January 2021. In addition, Liz, 59, and Dick both endorsed Harris, 61, during the 2024 presidential campaign.

"I was proud to call (him) my vice president and my friend," Bush said at Cheney's funeral. "His talent and restraint exceeded his ego... people always saw something in the man solid, reliable and rare … We honor his service and we pray that somewhere up the trail we will meet him again."
