President Biden Delivers Eulogy at Funeral for Bob Dole in Washington

A funeral for Senator Bob Dole was held at Washington National Cathedral on Friday, December 10.

President Biden eulogized the late senator, who died December 5 at the age of 98.

A former Senate majority leader, Dole represented Kansas in the Senate from 1969 to 1996 and ran for president against Bill Clinton in 1996.

In his eulogy, Biden called Dole a “master of the Senate,” noting that they disagreed but “were never disagreeable with each other.” The president called Dole a “statesman, husband, father, friend, colleague, and a word that’s often overused, but not here: a genuine hero.” Credit: Washington National Cathedral via Storyful
