Former Vice President Dick Cheney is set to appear alongside his daughter Rep. Liz Cheney at a fundraiser for the Republican National Committee and President Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign on Monday.
The Jackson, Wyoming, fundraiser will also feature “special guests” and White House staffers Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and Mick Mulvaney. According to the Washington Post, the invitation for the event does not list the trio with their official titles. Rather, it clarifies that “their participation in the event is not a solicitation of funds” as federal law prohibits administration officials from campaigning.
The news comes as the former vice president has been critical of Trump’s foreign policy moves, having pressed current Vice President Mike Pence on some of the president’s isolationist stances as well as the administration’s hard line toward U.S. allies in NATO.
Despite their differences, Cheney did offer his support for President Trump’s 2016 campaign in the early stages of the election season and acted as a surrogate between the president and Republican senators in order to rally enough confirmation votes for former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
“Rep. Cheney is honored to be co-hosting this event and working hard to support President Trump’s re-election,” a spokeswoman for Cheney said in a statement. “The President’s policies are benefiting Wyoming and the nation.”
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Co-Chairman Tommy Hicks Jr., National Finance Chairman Todd Ricketts, Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale, and former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle are also expected in attendance. The invitation did not specify ticket prices.
