Biden to honor Liz Cheney with Presidential Citizens Medal

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : Biden will bestow the honor on Cheney -- one of the GOP's most outspoken critics of President-elect Donald Trump, who joined Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris on the campaign trail last year in a bipartisan push to defeat him -- less than three weeks before Trump is inaugurated.
47% : Other honorees include attorney Mary Bonauto, who fought to legalize same-sex marriage and argued before the Supreme Court in the landmark marriage-equality case Obergefell v. Hodges, and lawyer and activist Evan Wolfson, a leader of the marriage-equality movement.
32% : Skip to end of carouselTrump presidential transitionWe're tracking the people Trump has picked or is considering to fill his Cabinet and key positions in his administration.
29% : Trump and some of his advisers have threatened to punish his political opponents once he takes office on Jan. 20.
18% : Cheney served as vice chair of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters, and in October, she urged Americans to reject his "depraved cruelty" as she rallied alongside Harris.
7% : That has led Biden and his top aides to consider preemptive pardons for figures like Cheney and retired Gen. Mark A. Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who warned that Trump was "fascist to the core."
