Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney will be laid to rest on Thursday, Nov. 20. However, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance will reportedly not be there.
Cheney, who served as vice president under George W. Bush, died on Nov. 3 at the age of 84, his family confirmed in a statement released the following day.
An insider reported to Axios that Trump, 79, was not on the guest list for the funeral, which is a break from tradition. It’s customary — but not required — for a president to pay their respects at the funeral for any former president or vice president who dies while they are in office.
Trump is currently slated to receive his intelligence briefing at 11 a.m., the same time as the funeral begins at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The funeral is also not listed on his public schedule for Thursday, Nov. 20.
In further reporting, CNN noted that Vance was also seemingly not invited.

A multitude of politicians from both sides of the aisle are expected to attend the former vice president’s funeral, including former Presidents Bush and Joe Biden and former Vice Presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore and Dan Quayle.
Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi will also be in attendance alongside Republican Senators John Thune and Mitch McConnell, amongst other attendees such as Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
CNN reported that the funeral is invite-only and will be attended by over 1,000 guests.
Trump has had a tense relationship with the Cheney family since former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, Dick’s daughter, was one of 10 Republicans to cross party lines and vote for his second impeachment after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
After she broke with Trump in 2021, Liz Cheney was ousted from her leadership role in the U.S. House of Representatives. She lost a bid for reelection after failing to win a primary race in 2022. Trump backed her opponent in the election.
Dick supported his daughter in her reelection efforts and issued a biting attack against Trump in a campaign video at the time.
“In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” he said, continuing, “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.”
Describing Trump as “a coward,” the former politician said, “A real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters. He lost his election and he lost big. I know it, he knows it, and, deep down, I think most Republicans know it.”
Speaking of his daughter, he added, “There is nothing more important she will ever do than lead the effort to make sure Donald Trump is never again near the Oval Office and she will succeed.”
Liz has continued to speak out against Trump. Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, she responded after he suggested that she face a firing squad.
“This is how dictators destroy free nations,” she wrote on X. “They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”
The former congresswoman and her father both endorsed Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, in the election.
After Trump won the race, Liz took to X, writing that she accepted the result. However, she called upon American citizens “to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years.”
“Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy,” she added.

Trump did not publicly acknowledge the death of the former vice president. However, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that he was “aware” of the news, per ABC News.
“I know the president is aware of the former vice president’s passing. And as you saw, flags have been lowered to half staff in accordance with statutory law,” she told the press at the time.
In a tribute shared with PEOPLE at the time, his family wrote, “For decades, Dick Cheney served our nation, including as White House Chief of Staff, Wyoming’s Congressman, Secretary of Defense, and Vice President of the United States.”
“Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” the statement continued. “We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”
