  • President Joe Biden will formally announce recipients of the Presidential Thursday at 5 PM, and one name on the list is sure to raise eyebrows: Liz Cheney. The post JUST IN: Biden Announces Liz Cheney to Receive Presidential Citizens Medal first appeared on Mediaite.

President Joe Biden has announced that former Representative Liz Cheney will be awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal, one of the nation's highest civilian honors, for her service and dedication to the country. This recognition comes in light of Cheney's outspoken criticism of former President Donald Trump, particularly following the January 6th Capitol riot, where she was one of the few Republicans to vote for his impeachment. Cheney, who lost her leadership position in the House GOP and subsequently her seat in Congress due to her stance against Trump, has been commended for her commitment to democratic principles and her role on the House committee investigating the January 6th attack. The award ceremony is set to take place on the third anniversary of the Capitol riot, highlighting her significant contributions to upholding the integrity of American democracy.
