Dick Cheney died at the age of 84 / photo WikipediaFormer US Vice President Dick Cheney died at the age of 84. This was reported by Punchbowl News reporter Jake Sherman in his message to the X on Tuesday.
It is worth noting that from 2001 to 2009, Dick (Richard) Cheney served as vice president for George W. Bush. In the administration of President Bush Sr. in the late 1980s, Cheney headed the Department of Defense.
CNN describes Cheney, a Republican, as “one of the most powerful and controversial figures in Washington politics.” Journalists consider him the most influential modern vice president and the main “architect of the war on terror”, which played a key role in the US invasion of Iraq.
In recent years, Cheney, while maintaining a reputation as a staunch conservative, has found himself largely isolated from his own party because of his harsh criticism of Donald Trump. He called him a “coward” and “the greatest threat to the republic in the entire history.”
“It was an ironic end to his storied political career that he cast his last vote in the 2024 presidential election for liberal Democrat and member of the vice president’s club Kamala Harris, a reflection of how the populist Republican Party opposed his traditional conservatism,” the article reads.
Cheney is said to have suffered from cardiovascular disease for most of his adult life and suffered a series of heart attacks, but lived a full, active life and lived in retirement for many years after a heart transplant in 2012, which he called “the gift of life itself” in a 2014 interview.
