Bob Dole, World War II veteran, senator and 1996 GOP presidential candidate, will lie in state in the U.S. Capitol on Thursday. Dole died Sunday at the age of 98.
The hearse carrying Dole is expected to arrive at the Capitol shortly before 10 a.m. ET and a formal ceremony will follow. President Biden is expected to speak at the service.
Dole will then lie in state from noon until 8 p.m., but due to COVID-19 protocols, it will not be open to the public. Lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda is reserved for prestigious lawmakers and citizens.
