At the funeral, multiple politicians attended to pay their respects, including former President Barack Obama. His wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama, was not present. Other guests were Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Laura Bush, Mike Pence, Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and president-elect Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump.
